Counting stars

I am the one who stars will count at midnight While you'll be only dreaming about them And I will count summers, springs and winters And every leaf from the top to the stem While you'll be walking about like blind I'll be quietly watching the time melting Only one law my heart will always follow For our love, I've learnt the law of waiting When there will be nothing left to be counted You'll find the path that leads to me, that way Is outlined with sand from our clepsydra It's broken, there's forever, and one day.
