Lie Here Still

Stay here until I return
Lie here still while it burns
I need to go now

I will flow with first petals of purple roses
Falling down with cascading rainbows
I will come with first spring winds
Dreaming you away into the autumn dreams
I will return when sunrise sets in the North
I will come back to you once more

I see you sleeping in my bed
Breathing silently the air I breathe
This night was too long to be real

Dancing in moonlit silhouettes I break out
From the bound of snow and ice
The dreams were but a lie I couldn’t know
Now I’m free from the bars

Lie here still
I want to feel you’re real
Not a fading dream
Please, don’t leave me

I will come back with first autumn cold
Drawing the window with snow
I will return with first fallen star at dawn
To become the one who will cherish your soul
