(originally Couplets I)

lyrics

Take care, please take good care of all my heart.
My heart, seeping, surrounded with walls!

If you insist upon our love's reason to tether it:
You should know I've forgotten what that really means.

You go so sweetly,
I mourn so easily

Linger for a little while-
'ere I turn as stone, forever to the spot
Wither when we go a'wanderin-
We fly towards our separate ways

So push, so pull, until our precious stalemate
I can't help taking root here, my darling!

It festers, it no longer grows
And so, Ivan-esque we vainly go.
What's left to become, I don't know
But oh! How alone's to carry a heavy load
(my arms don't reach around).

Since when he died,
He took Mario with him.
Still I'm waiting here,
Reaching out with no hand to hold.
Oh but anger when forced to admit
that the captain goes down with his ship:
The storm's nothing to do with it!

Take care of your heart.
I'm lost without your pure heart.
(always and once again, I plead, I'm begging...)

Take care
It's all!
You have to turn inwards and bear it, my golden boy.
I doubt that you'll share it.

I know my heart,
Ceaseless in limerence.
When is enough enough?
Distance releasing of our love,
A love that's no longer in my hands.
