|
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" 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 a 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. |
|
Into another world you have passed |
|
and never again can I reclaim you |
