I take leave today of your heart
Take leave of your nearness
The shelter of your arms
The warmth of your skin
Like children we once were
Gamblers night for night
Devoted to the mirror
Dancing into the day
I take leave today of your heart
Take leave of your love
I take leave of your tears
Take leave of what I have
I commend today your heart
To life to freedom and to love
Thus I am calm
Because I love you!
Silently I take leave of you
The last kiss lost in mind
Whatever you are thinking
I will never know
What I am feeling I thank you for
I thank you for all the love
I thank you in eternity
I take leave today of your heart
Take leave of your love
I take leave of your heart
Your life your kisses
Your warmth your nearness
Your tenderness
