Sometimes…..

                - Pritish Nandy

Sometimes when everyone is farway

And I have taken all the masks off my face

I feel the evening closing in.

        All the fires burn in the sky

        All the fevers of the heart are still

        All my griefs have set asail

        All I remember then, is just you….

What hurts are the simple loves we shared

What hurts are the gentle fears we knew

What hurts is the way we said goodbye

What hurts is knowing you are not there.

        All the fires burn in the sky

        All the fevers of the heart are still

        All my griefs have set asail

        All I remember then is just you….

Everything else remains just as it was

Nothing changes nothing’s gone

Only the void within the heart grows

Only the void within the heart grows.
