Your Face In My Prayers

I will put my head on the sad pillow
I want to slip as far as I can
Waiting for the one who never comes
Here on the sad pillow wishing to close the eyes

There, we will meet a hundred times
See your blue hands and green eyes
And the angelic face never dies
The same face I have seen in every prayer
Do not bring me back I beg you

Here you build me a house of white bricks
With roses and running rivers inside and out
We lay in the shade of my trees, your trees
On your bright green grass my love
And your hands find me across

I have put my head on your chest
For so long that my heart grew lighter
But there was yet something up there
In the wide eyes which would forever live
Do not bring me back, I beg you
