Dreams Of Sanity The Maiden And The River Lyrics

The Maiden And The River lyrics

Now as I'm settled so old and outired
And no one's here to tell about my The things I did - the words I said
live Though time passed by - I can't
I'll sing this lonely tune again and forget
again In hopeless times - alone I've cried
To bear the echos in my mind. Time, time - pass me by!

The things I did - the words I said
A youngster's guilt once taken upon
The strengthening shoulders of a growing Though time passed by - I can't
man forget
The weakness age has rolled in 'em pines In hopeless times - alone I've
Has not reduced the burdens I bear. cried
Time, time - pass me by!

Alone I stood amidst the river
That flooded lightness onto my soul
As a simple tune so true in its beauty
was swirling across the glitters of light.

And as my eyes focused upon
a distant glitter amidst the woods
The sudden ungreening of the trees
unvailed a singing maiden's outstanding line.

"Step forward to the shimmering one! The things I did - the words I said
Be kind to me my blistered feet! Though time passed by - I can't
Obey! My swollen tongue for once forget
in my life I have to - to - In hopeless times - alone I've
........." cried
Time, time - pass me by!

But not I moved for all my might
The maiden smiled and walked on by.
No scream, no words - just the pain
that echos on and on again.

Since then I never saw again
The skirts of springtime wandering by.
For all the colours of the world
Look dim compared to what I saw that day.
