[FIRST OBSERVER]
The eye sees, the thought flies
The eye tells, the thought denies

[SECOND OBSERVER]
I will prepare for your returning
(Is there no other way?)

[FIRST OBSERVER]
The word falls, the heart cries
The heart knows the word's disguise

[SECOND OBSERVER]
I shall expect you then at evening
(Is there no other way?)

[FIRST OBSERVER]
The bird sings, the wind sighs
The air stirs, the bird shies
A storm approaches

[SECOND OBSERVER]
(There must be other ways...)

[FIRST OBSERVER]
The leaf shakes, the wings rise
The song stops, the bird flies
The storm approaches
[SECOND OBSERVER]
I will have supper waiting

[FIRST OBSERVER]
The song stops, the bird flies
The mind stirs, the heart replies
"There is no other way
There is no other way"

[SECOND OBSERVER]
I will prepare for your return
I shall expect you then at evening

[FIRST OBSERVER]
The word stops, the heart dies
The wind counts the lost goodbyes

[SECOND OBSERVER]
There is no other way
There is no other way
