The Four Elements 'Baci Ruh' *

All our lives we had lived apart separated by time - by sea by land. How can I sleep at night if night is your day? I ponder the far fields that you walk upon your way. In southern height of summer I feel the northern winter frost a blizzard rages, in torment without the meltem, this soul; is lost. Joy is to sit beside you joy is to hold your hand joy is to see you smile in your native land. I’ll speak your name by moonlight I speak your name by day. When the time draws near so swift I’ll fly to stay. Say goodbye say goodbye how could we say goodbye? Wherever I go you go with me through water earth and sky.
