The ticktock of time allows me to see
|
An owl turn to an echo
|
The butterfly to a cocoon
|
A swan to ugly duckling
|
A lake to an ocean
|
|
The dead times awake
|
As I've been called myself to yesterday
|
The flower has fallen its petals
|
Out of the petals a cradle I will
|
|
My cradle rocks with the waves of time
|
The time of beauty will never be the same
|
Oh, little girl, as thou must now leave
|
Please take me, take me with thee
|
|
Now I hear my mother from the deep
|
Sing me a lullaby of eternal sleep
|
Wilt blow wee plant that last to recall
|
As in silence we sing to reborn
|
