Autumntales

Farewell, oh Farewell

Sweet dancers in the wind

I see you are prepared to come with me

The long way home again

Farewell, my beloved

(Farewell to you)

I whisper to a fading flower

(I greet your embrace)

There's so much life in dying

After all this time you can go to sleep

(After all this time that passed I can go to sleep)

This well-known melody

Rises up above the orphaned trees

Rejoining the restless wind

Bequeath scarlet rain to hunted leaves

Through this decay, you can see her

how she wanders

how she cries silent tears

Midnight's coming all too soon

And she has to end what she's begun

Come near come near to me

I know you are frightened

And I can't give you safe

But see there's nothing holding you anymore

So please, don't insist on the waste

And now I see your eyes

(I'm waiting for you)

Your broken beauty is my pride

(I welcome your kiss)

There's so much life in dying

Take my hand,

Rest your head and seek relief

(I've saved my life for you.

Oh come near, let me seek relief)

Hope in her hair

And her fingers borrow pity out of your heart

Her eyes are staring right through you

And you can see yourself in them

Sweet dancers

There is nothing holding you anymore

Please come with me, my dear

Now autumn's tears begin to freeze

And I'm willing to leave again
