La Llorona by Godiva When the stars grow dark The wind whispers its sweet melody She sings her lullabye for mothers and lovers All is still as she shares her heartache Lonely cries haunting the night Down from trees swaying high atop a ridge Drunk on the sorrow Up from the stream flowing deep in a gully Crying for her pain Remembering time long ago The anguish it brought her Her passion, love, life She lost them for her choice She pleads with Worlds beyond For time to right her wrong The stars grow cold The snow settles on her heavy heart She hears her answer Calling from the shadows They beckon her home Copyright October 24, 1996 www.espers.org
