"Lament (Love, I Found You Gone)" lyrics

"Lament (Love, I Found You Gone)"

The night was cold
And the wind was high
The moon grew old
In a restless sky
Then came the dawn
With a pagan song
Through weeping eyes
I found you gone

Gone with the wind
And the morning dew
My lonely heart
Cries aloud for you
Oh, love divine
Come home to me
Oh, love of mine
Where can you be?

I miss your sweet caress
Come fill my loneliness

I searched in vain
But I found you gone
This strange lament
Seems to linger on
But now I see
It was all a dream
That sweet surprise
What ecstasy!
You're here with me!
