Ericolloquy

Music by Ada Bird Wolfe & Jamieson Trotter, Lyrics by Ada Bird Wolfe

Locked within a tender heart, tender soul
Is my love
Waiting for me
Hoping that we
Soon will find that sweet repose
That comes to lovers
who have pledged in truth and peace
Their love, their lives

But I … And I …
Restless heart, love
Better leave, love, don’t stay

Step by step, the mem'ries fade
Burning dusk, endless sea
What in the world compares with these?
All my heavy cares released.
If I would stay
with you, sweetheart
Still my mind would wander far
If I would stay, it might be you
But we are who we are

Can I steal just one more glance
One more kiss, Is it fair?
When I well know, when I am sure
He will give me what I ask
And be so glad and think that I
have fin'ly changed my ways, my mind,
