Interesting how Gerstein has advocated the urtext edition up and down talk radio, but still doesn't arpeggiate the chords here like Tchaikovsky, supposedly intended.

Why can't Bramwell Tovey just host this show?

III. At sea

Again, alone.
Again, forever.
Solitude and I, once more, together.

And now—forget?
Or yet remember?
If I hold fast will I still surrender?

Shall I cling to memory, and polish thoughts like bright stones?
But every touch erodes them; to love their light is to lose it.
Remembering. Dismembering.

Forget, then.
Forget him.

Forget him.
Forget, yes.

And cast away the empty oyster shell. 
Tide take him.
But watch—who knows what waters wash home?

Forget him?
Forget, how?

This cruel moon brings ghosts in waves now, to haunt me.
Too-cruel moon brings ghosts to haunt me, to taunt me now.
This tide that gives and takes and tolls the time,
the time, the long and longing time alone.

I can't forget;
I can't remember.
The loss remains, so hard, so tender.

And all my rhymes are ravings,
my words the wailing of a lost one,
storm-tossed one.

The sea won't hear.
The sky won't care.
No different to them,
my silence or song.

No words, so.
Unheard, so.

Why go on then?
Why cry this silence?

Alone.
Alone.

All cast away now.
Just ghosts to stay now.
Alone, all lost at sea. 
