Katie Callahan - Aloha, a Lament

When I was young, I fell in love
With the trade winds blowing softly through your hair
Our joy, our tears, my childish dreams
So intoxicated by the perfumed air

In that morning, lover, so soft and fair
Take me back to the first moment that we met
In the gentle rise of the mountains there
I will cherish you and I will not forget

You drew me close, you gave me names
As only the heart can do, we swung and swayed
But your love was made for only you
You don't need me, though I long for you each day

In the glare of daylight
So pure and bright
I remember every contour of your face
But the sun goes down and the evening comes
Have I lost you, can I come back to this place?

I grew up in the shade of you
Still believing that you'd love me till the end
But hearts move on and winds, they change
I returned to lose my lover and my friend

So goodnight, my someone, my only home
Close your eyes now in your fervent golden glow
Sleep you sweetly now as I yearn for you
In my heart for always, I can't let you go

You have made sure I won't love again
So be cruel as you wash me from your shores
