Paroles de The River

Old is my moon circle is complete Long has been the way the day is giving in The dusk is thickening, cold engulfs the shore I hear across the stream as charon blows the horn One more summer I ask for, I crave One more autumn just to finish my song Grant me this wish, bestow this gift Ye noble gods I pray When all is done, I'll go down with the sun And welcome the twilight that falls I know its in vain For it's my time There is no delay Last light will hide Hearken now to the trumpet call As it echoes in the dark (whirls through the night) Time has come to say the farewells Step down into the shades I scrape the sand that's running out, slipping away Dripping now through this weary hands Vanishing into thin air All I ask is one more day to redeem it all Then gladly I will pass and welcome the silent world With no sound, upon the calm stream The black boat moves, like mist on the waves Slowly charon rows, slowly sky turns Stars fade away, we enter the shades But a wanderer I am on the heaths of night On this shore now ends my prolonged path I am home at last Tonight my dust is being gathered here And brought before my father Set before his throne, I am home at last
