Riga

No! I will not be back tonight!
I heard a call, I have to go,
Across the narrow sea, I must go
There, above the hills, across the plains.

For the sake of humanity, I must go
To save that soul, I promised I would
A house as home, I sure must find
In a land I'll love, upon my sight.

Now the songs I sing are of the happy sort
The chorus i hear through trees & breeze,
The wave of life knows no calm,
On this sea of trust and love, I must thrive.

With a book and pen, in black I dress
My hair is wet for the clouds did break
Upon my brow, my thoughts do rest
And from my neck, my talisman does hang.

The time to go, I know is now
And on my return, all would be new
But of those times, i shall not think
For now this call is stronger than all.

Out the door, I take my step,
The night is quiet, quaint and dark
I turn to look, there are none,
And now i know the time has come.
