The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
Your memory rings, the bangles bold.
I yearn, I yearn,
The milky-dawn, the milky-dawn,
The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
Your memory rings, the bangles bold.
I yearn, I yearn,
The milky-dawn, the milky-dawn.

Whose gaze did sever, your touch withdrawn?
Your touch withdrawn?
Counting stars, the endless night forlorn,
The night forlorn.
Come softly, love, and hold my hand at dawn,
Hold my hand at dawn.
These distances, my soul, they scorn,
These distances, my soul, they scorn.
I yearn, I yearn,
The milky-dawn, the milky-dawn,
The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold.

If you return, I'll tease and make you weep,
Make you weep.
Sometimes I'll sway, and secrets keep,
And secrets keep.
I'll make you crave, yet hold my love so deep,
Hold my love so deep.
I'll tempt you with my bangles' leap.
I yearn, I yearn,
The milky-dawn, the milky-dawn.

The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
Your memory rings, the bangles bold.
I yearn, I yearn,
The milky-dawn, the milky-dawn.

Short are the meetings, long is the divide,
Long is the divide.
My heart's true words, I cannot confide,
I cannot confide.
Your thought arrives, as I softly sigh,
As I softly sigh.
You'll not grasp these constraints inside.
I yearn, I yearn,
The milky-dawn, the milky-dawn.

The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
The churning arms, a dark embrace, fair maiden's hold,
Your memory rings, the bangles bold.
I yearn, I yearn,
The milky-dawn, the milky-dawn.
