Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea
Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees?
"i have," said the willow,
"and i begged him please to stay, but he went away,
He went on his own one day." and i sing
"one love have i," and he sings, "now it's goodbye,"
And i sing "part of me dies until i see you again."
Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves,
Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees?
"i have," said the waters, "and i held his face to mine,
But he left in time, he went in his own good time."
And i sing "one love have i," and he sings,
"now it's goodbye," and i sing
"part of me dies until i see you again."
Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown,
With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town?
I have and i kissed him and i begged him please to stay,
But he went away, with the sun and the wind away.
And i sing "one love have i," and he sings,
"now it's goodbye," and i sing
"part of me dies until i see you again"
