|
Out of the land of shadows and |
|
Darkness, we were returning |
|
Towards the morning light |
|
Almost in reach of places I knew |
|
Escaping the ghosts of Yesterday |
|
You were behind me following |
|
Closely |
|
"Don't turn around now" |
|
I heard you whisper in my ear |
|
"If you should turn now, |
|
All that you won |
|
Will vanish just like a passing dream. |
|
Just on the very verge of the |
|
Morning, daylight was dawning, |
|
Freedom was but a step away |
|
Now with the deep dark river |
|
Behind us, |
|
What could go wrong if I stayed |
|
Strong in mind. |
|
What was the sudden lapse into |
|
Madness, what was the urge that |
|
Turned my head around to look at you? |
|
What was the stubborn will |
|
To destroy the love and the joy |
|
I nearly held? |
|
Three times the thunder roared |
|
In my ears |
|
In all of my years I'll see that lost |
|
Look in your eyes. |
|
As, with a sigh like smoke in the wind |
|
You slipped from my grasp into |
|
The waiting shadows |
|
So much I longed to say, |
|
But my touch found only the |
|
Empty air and a black nights |
|
Coldness. |
|
Lnto another world you entered |
|
And never again I can reclaim you |
