Long the shores of a silent stream
I'm picking up pieces of my life
Finding out I was living my own dream
Beginning once again
I searched for themes
that I never knew before
It's like roaming a forest in winter
searching buds buried in snow
I learnt new languages,
new forms to proclaim
All the will to be so sincere,
not lying to myself again
Roaming through forest's trees
Creating a white snow trail on fallen
leaves
Oh Mother Moon
Illuminate my return
'cause the road I took is so obscure
Sinking and drowning in a sea of fears
Showing compassion to the moan
Already happened in day long gone
The silk dilemma is the key, it's still for me
One by one the lights fade out
The fright-night covers all with her cloak
You cannot name the colour of the dark
I fall into a dream
From the lands lying at the end of World
I am bringing this dress as a gift, it is
made with the purest silk
She smiled at me,
she never wore the dress
Touching the fabric was like holding
nothing in your hand
Roaming through forest's trees
Creating a white snow trail on fallen
leaves
Oh Mother Moon
Illuminate my return
'cause the road I took is so obscure
Sinking and drowning in a sea of fears
Showing compassion to the moan
Already happened in day long gone
The silk dilemma is the key
Hold my hand - 'till the sun set off
I'm proud of what I've done
At least the days I've spent are so totally
unique.
