Lonely...



The Princess is in her chamber

And I watch her from the ground,

I pretend to watch the blossoms fall

Making sure no one's around,



I am a soldier and a samurai

Sworn to war and duty,

But a man also of loneliness

A man enchanted by her beauty,



She doesn't even know me

Doesn't know that I exist,

Nor realize that her beauty

Strikes me like a fist,



Her hair is black and comely

Like a midnight waterfall,

I wish to hear her lilting laugh

And watch her smile, tis all...



To hold her close, pressed to me

To hear her breathe and sigh,

I know is forbidden to

A stoic samurai,



I shan't know grace and beauty

Nor the love behind her veil,

For solitude is the path I walk

And loneliness the trail,



My lady disappears from the window

With the hush of silk she's gone,

As the wind blows thru the trees

Down to my ears wafts a song,



Sung by her and her handmaidens

It's a song of love and glee,

I bow my head and leave

For no one sings such songs for me...



...Samishii Suzume...
