Beyond the Stars

Beyond the stars
The song once flew
Caressed by the wind, by still of the night

Beyond the whispering sea
The wishes untold dwell
Kissed by the waves, lulled by a dream

Far above crystal clear sky
Above high peaks of Wudang Shan
Flows an ancient lullaby
You used to sing once

Heartstrings weep in silence now
Longing for the long gone times
Though soul still remembers the touch of love
And whisper-to-ear warmth
You caressed me with once

Beyond the stars
We are still the same
Yet the world has changed
Though the stars are still bright

Beyond the glimmering sky
I dream of kind voice and lotus lake
Stillness of the temple in the night
I remember you through the long age
Still walking beyond the stars
Still the same
