The Maiden and the River - Masquerade
|
|
Now as I'm settled so old and outired
|
And no one's here to tell about my live
|
I'll sing this lonely tune again and again
|
To bear the echos in my mind.
|
The things I did - the words I said
|
Though time passed by - I can't forget
|
In hopeless times - alone I've cried
|
Time, time - pass me by!
|
|
A youngster's guilt once taken upon
|
The strengthening shoulders of a growing man
|
The weakness age has rolled in 'em pines
|
Has not reduced the burdens I bear.
|
The things I did - the words I said
|
Though time passed by - I can't forget
|
In hopeless times - alone I've 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!
|
Be kind to me my blistered feet!
|
Obey! My swollen tongue for once
|
in my life I have to - to - ........."
|
The things I did - the words I said
|
Though time passed by - I can't forget
|
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.
