무심도 하지요 
              이 어둠에 바람마저 잠들었나 봅니다
              제 어깨에 잠시 머무신 당신은 날이 밝으면 저 어둠과 함께 가시겠지만 
              잘 지내라는 짧은 인사만 남긴 채 또 그렇게 가시겠지만 
              날다 날다 지치면 날 찾아와 잠시 쉬었다 가세요 

              언제나 이 자리에 있을 수만은 없겠지만 
              우리 함께 한 세월의 자국만은 남아 있을 테니  
              다니시다 다니시다 외로우시면 날 찾아와 잠시 쉬었다 가세요 

              눈물로 채워진 기둥이 뽑히기 전에
              마지막 남은 볏짚마저 타 들어가기 전에 
              저 모습 까맣게 타서 재로 변하기 전에 
              이제 그만 고백할까 합니다 ... 

              당신을 사랑했었노라고 

              칠흑 같은 어둠이 찾아오면 
              지친 당신 행여 모습이라도 보이지 않을까 싶어 
              깊은 밤 내내 당신을 기다렸었노라고 .... 
              이 작은 불빛에 당신이 찾아오시길 바라며
              긴긴 밤 불 밝히며 지샜노라고 ...
