(This is actually impossible to sing, especially the first eight lines.)
When did I fade form existence?
When, my being lose subsistence?
I still long for true, real living
Not a dream so unforgiving
I am lost from rhyme, from reason
Weathered through each sunless season
Seasons of a different world, a
Different place where I am nothing
-
Lost in starlight
In a world under the dark
Lingering in memory, a smile
Fading…
A thought I'll never forget
Alone beside the spirits
Alone I think of you, of
Someplace far
Where I once
Could roam free, laughing
-
Memories the same
Only these remain
Far beyond Time's relentless scour
In the dark oblivion
-
Drawn apart by fate
Standing at the gate
My mind will follow you afar
To wherever you are
No matter where you are
Though I'm trapped, a mere torn spirit
Deep in time, can you still feel it?
I remember…
-
Time is ticking, time is flowing,
Faster, swifter than our knowing
How long was it since our last day
Sitting in a glorious sunray
Sands are trickling through the neck, the
Moment was some decades back, a
Wound from turnings of the wheel, a
Wound that time will never heal—though
We're on two coasts of an ocean
Hold to hope, your destination
-
So blurred, these memories!
I'll hold on, even through
A million nights
Till the end of
Time!
-
Every road you take,
Every move you make there
I will hold that smile in memory
I'm less than air,
But I don't care
No matter where
-
No matter what I am
(A brush of air?)
No matter where you are
I'll think of you, of the world
Of distant dreams
Of all that seems
-
I'll dream wherever you may be
I'll dream wherever you are now
I'll dream of times I'll never see
I'll dream it all, some way, somehow…
