A sinking heart

Tekst utworu

[INTRO] Whispers on the wind, a sigh, a hush, The first drop falls from a sky of ash. [VERSE 1] Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, A river rising in the heart, unseen. They gather, fall, meet the glass of eyes, While autumn fields lay golden, silent cries. [CHORUS] So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more, Like a sail caught in first light’s distant shore. They lift our friends from the underworld’s deep, And with the last, they bleed the night’s cold sleep. [VERSE 2] Fresh as dawn on a silver sail’s gleam, Bringing hope to those who wander unseen. Sad as the last, where colors bleed, A sinking heart where all we love recede. [CHORUS] So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more, Echoing in the hush of a winter’s roar. We taste the ache that lingers, bittersweet, In every breath that turns to retreat. [BRIDGE] Ah, sad and strange in the dark summer dawn, The first song of birds, half-awake, withdrawn. They speak to dying ears, to fading eyes, The window cracks, a glimmering surprise. [CHORUS] So sad, so strange, the days that are no more, A fleeting spark on a winter’s floor. We hold them close, like fire in the night, A fleeting warmth before the fading light. [HOOK] Dear as remembered kisses after death, Sweet as fantasies that never rest. On lips meant for others, a silent vow, Deep as first love, wild with regret now. [OUTRO] O Death in Life, the days that are no more, We close our eyes, but still we see the shore. The tears keep falling, soft and pure, Forever echoing the love we endure.
