| Crossing land and sea to a foreign shore
|
| She came to me — stood at my door.
|
| She came unknown, and unannounced,
|
| Not even her name had been pronounced.
|
| It was late evening, or early night,
|
| As she stood at the doorway the night seemed bright.
|
| I do not know, what thoughts I had,
|
| I was not happy, I was not sad.
|
| You and I no longer one
|
| But wherever you may be girl
|
| Wherever you have gone
|
| You will always be with me girl
|
| My Petal Pie
|
| With some reserve I said «hello»
|
| And then half-smiled wellcomingly
|
| It seemed the sun had shone on me
|
| As two bright eyes smiled approvingly
|
| Then we spoke of this, and we spoke of that
|
| While round the clock it, s fingers run
|
| The past was past, the chapter done
|
| And a new and longer had begun
|
| You and I no longer one
|
| But wherever you may be girl
|
| Wherever you have gone
|
| You will always be with me girl
|
| My Petal Pie
|
| But wherever you may be girl
|
| Wherever you have gone
|
| You will always be with me girl
|
| My Petal Pie
|
| Then that chapter, too, it had ceased
|
| And from my life she had been released.
|
| Was it all decided from long ago,
|
| Before I knew her? |
| I do not know
|
| You can say I am weary, you can say I am sad
|
| For having lost what once I had.
|
| Yet in my heart there glows a light
|
| Of two bright eyes … once shining bright
|
| You and I no longer one
|
| But wherever you may be girl
|
| Wherever you have gone
|
| You will always be with me girl
|
| My Petal Pie
|
| But wherever you may be girl
|
| Wherever you have gone
|
| You will always be with me girl
|
| My Petal Pie
