Now she sings about his leaving and their everlasting love.
She expects him never to return.
I'm not sure exactly how helpful this one might be, but Dido's "My Lover's Gone" is a haunting, beautiful song:
My lover's gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn
And as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
No more his song
The tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone
While I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
