When vapours rolling down the valley made
A lonely scene more lonesome, among woods
At noon, and 'mid the calm of summer nights,

Beneath the gloomy hills homeward I went
In solitude, such intercourse was mine;
Mine was it in the fields both day and night,
And by the waters, all the summer long.”

- “I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind

But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing
I learned
Is that I need you desperately - From Where Do Broken Hearts Go”
