At the Heart of Winter (2) Табы

Darkness failed to cool the summer night
The dying birds wept under starlight
when my barren Earth longed for their song the most
Alas, where were you then?

I was the silence of the thirst-fallen birds
drowning in salty rain
I was not far for I still felt your sorrow
Ne'er far, my love

...Then summer mornings turn to grey
Like sorrow fills my heart, a lifetime turned to grey
Like autumn leaves fall to the ground
Alas, where were you then?

I was the sorrow of fallen autumn leaves
dying upon the ground
I was not far for I called a new winter
Ne'er far, my love
