Lyrics
The Sphinx
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road
Or even when I take a boat
A light
Insanely bright is standing
A fainting force
My loneliness remains attending
The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road
Or even when I take a boat
A light
Insanely bright is standing
A fainting force
My loneliness remains attending
