I grew up alone, older in soul, detached from the world Then there was you, careless and free You showed me the world as the poets sang it to be Full of light and beauty I saw the dance of the stars in the sky Heard the whispered song on the wind The quiet laughter in the streams The peaceful sigh of the sea The everlasting hum of the universe There came, a day, when our cosmos fell apart Your breath grew shorter, your heartbeat weak The glow of summer faded to the fiery shades of fall It was all you could do to muster the strength to speak Your eyes sank deep into your skull Your skin sagging off your bones And though your smile and your spirit remained bright The question changed from "if" to "how much time Do we have left together?" You got weaker every day Slowly they ran out of hopeful things to say In all my endeavours To find a way for you to stay Just a little longer, selfishly... the stars glared with the moon from their lofty perch The wind howled instead of singing The seas roared and the weeping of the streams Were matched only by the aching of my hopelessness You fought so well But as your final days drew near You lost yourself I couldn't help The cold sank deep, the path was clear I'd give Anything To trade with you It should be me Who leaves this place The last day of tranquility caressed your face You begged for it to be me I should be the one to end your agony Mine is only just beginning Bracing myself I release you from your painsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
