Of Life And Times

Slow flow of river ghost
Howling waters beneath the starfall
Enchanted song sung to recall
Forgotten tales of long gone times
And first shiny dime

Frozen lake behind my window
Bleak waters flowing underneath glittering ice
Calling me to enter dark midwinter eve
To find the hidden lost lullaby

Caress a world in a snowflake bound
Pale streams spouting to the South
Meadows of heaven are flowing within

A song I wrote with care
For every little memory
For my everything
A verse of me, a rhyme in need
For a heart of a dreamer
Poor philosopher that died in me
I told my last word, pale farewell

One step to dive into an ocean deep
Falling down to fly high
Find a dream I left for you in a sleep
G minor to write a memory within your heart

Forgotten memory, another tale
Of life and times
Flowing story beneath the veil
Moments from the past
Before angelwing turned to dust

Falling into madness to follow your heart
Revive everything you’ve cared with love
Write another symphony across dark destiny
Hideaway of memories falling into the dusk

Forgotten tale of life and times
The whole world running across the lines
Open your eyes to see the dawn
Enter the symphony of dreams forlorn

Forgotten tale of life and times
Dreamworld of the awe and sleepless nights
Follow your heart to see the sunrise written through the twilight
