WHY DID YOU COME?
Through these unknown paths
Winding through narrow valleys
Where dark shadows are lengthening
Lonely traveler, why did you come?
The flickering lamp at the temple
has gone out; the priest gone to sleep
and total darkness is spreading all around
Lonely traveler, why did you come?
Not a single star in sight
under the dark deep blue sky
to shed a ray of hope at this holy site
Lonely traveler, why did you come?
Climbing through the slippery cliffs
you have reached this mountain top
without a flower in hand to offer
Lonely traveler, why did you come?
Just to lay this flute at your feet
Just to close my eyes for a while
and feel the thrill in my heart
Just to find the words to sing of you again.

The River Flows Again
The river flows again;
Looking at its depth
And the whirlpools I sit here. ...
