Catrina Heart - *By The River

By the river I waited for the birds to come
To bring me leaves of romance,
Yet hours passed and none came
To the azure of light even a single one

With many sighs, I still hoped the bells will ring
To sing the songs I am longing to hear
Yet hours passed and none broke
The silence sitting in my heart

Wishful still, expectant, not surrendering,
Even for the last minutes of cascading grains
Even the hands of time say give up and don't wait
I waited to hear something for the changes

Changes on the waters of the lake yet none came...

Is it worthy to fight one more battle
When you know your knight had already surrendered?
Hopelessness is all the answer,
Uncertainties swirl with the winds and storm.

With the last dropp of grain realization came,
Saw a clearer picture of the small house by the river
Just us, a mother and her kids alone
Carving their own life on every walls

Plouging their own beautiful garden and smiling through the dawns...
Just the three of us by the river
