LUKE AND LEIA
Written by Helen Vader
Somehow I know you
And I have known you from the start
I've been perceiving
An empty place deep in my heart
And now you tell me
The time has come you must depart
How can you do that?
Have we been waiting for this moment just to part again?
Oh yes, I know you
And I have known you from the start
No longer feeling
That empty place deep in my heart
And yet you leave me
Why don't you believe me
That your dream of a father cannot ever come true?
Author's Note:
This poem's title is identical with the title of track 2 on CD2 of the Return of the Jedi soundtrack (the 1997 Special Edition release), because it's been written to fit the melody - I can't remember a melody if it has no words, and I desperately wanted to remember this one, so this is the result. I just hope John Williams won't feel offended by the fact that I coupled his divine music with my incompetent writing...
