IMPRESSIONS OF WINTER LYRICS

1. Conjunction

Curtain falls
A touch of flood
By thousand drops of water

Mirror stirred
By weary clouds
That shed their weighty burden

Ground is veiled
By pouring twilight
Meadows steam
Humidity

Structure cleaned
By liquid pow'r
Components still the same

Cycle closed
But questions open
Could we ever grasp?

Damp thy cheeks
And shadows murmur
Rain and tears unite

2. Rain Outside

So watch me drawing circles
With the moisture on the glass
While outside, a dull arrangement,
Greyish trees and houses pass

Drizzle blurs the borderline
There's no more earth or sky
Lit by mere a misty gleam
Reflecting in your eye

Once upon a time
I was enchanted by a song
I hardly can remember now,
The meantime was too long

Rise again thou dulcet voice,
Let notes like water flow
At least they'll shape a little brook
To join the sea below

3. The Legacy

["Dream Land", Ch.G. Rossetti, the 19th century]

Where sunless rivers weep
Their waves into the deep,
She sleeps a cham?d sleep,
Awake her not.
Led by a single star,
She came from very far
To seek where shadows ae
Her pleasant lot.

She left the rosy morn,
She left the fields of corn,
For twilight cold and lorn
And water springs.
Through sleep, as through a veil,
She sees the sky look pale,
And hears the nightingale
That sadly sings.

Rest, rest, a perfect rest
Shed over brow and breast;
Her face is toward the west,
The purple land.
She cannot see the grain
Ripening on hill and plain,
She cannot feel the rain
Upon her hand.

Rest, rest for evermore
Upon a mossy shore;
Rest, rest at the heart's core
Till time shall cease:
Sleep that no pain shall wake;
Night that no morn shall break,
Till joy shall overtake
Her perfect peace

4. Wordless Well

And after all, what is left now?
A bunch of notes or a song?
A bitter taste and a feeling
A chilly breeze - what is wrong?

A bunch of words makes a sentence
But there is no statement to find
A bunch of thoughts is the answer
Disjointed scraps in my mind

Imagine that fate was a desert
And heaven the brim of a well
But out of the well just an echo
With nothing relieving to tell

5. Golden Autumn

Strange words pass by
No sentence or sense
They're not meant for me
Incessant suspense

I dare not to ask
Or participate
Each glance seems to bother
My thoughts deviate

I wish it was autumn
Your hand on my cheek
Soft winds, golden sunbeams
A song, distant, weak

6. Sea Of Emptiness

I sail an ocean full of blood
My boat is pulled out by the flood
On deep red waves
The storm wind raves
I sail an ocean full of blood

I push a vessel full of tears
Completed drop by drop for years
But in the end
Each way will bend
I push a vessel full of tears

7. Halcyon Days

Once I kissed your face
Captured by your grace
Lips like deep red wine
Caressing mine
And take my doubts away

Once I felt your hand
Hours and years would stand
World behind your eyes
Infinite space
But every dawn it dies

8. Hortamentum

Dreams, oblivion

What builds our personality
Is only how we lie to us

9. Dusk Of Memory

Imagine that you're worlds away
Behind the hills that stand in line
A sky of grey, but leaves are green
I can't remember where I've been
Two years - or three - ago

The clouds prevent these haggard trees
From throwing shadows on the ground
It makes this setting so unreal
A covered sky and grass and sound

My heart is empty, any smile
Induced compliance, for a while
A brief encounter with a past
That stirs a silent pain at last

Reminders of a long closed chapter
Buried somewhere in the sea
Buried but in shallow waters
Just an aching memory

10. The Dance

There behind snowflakes
Your shimmering eyes
Like glassy damp jewels
Yet clearer than ice

A face that is beaming
Enraptured and dreaming
And lips, red and gleaming
A heart full of love

Dance round and round
Your feet make no sound
Your smile spreads like drizzle
Like sparkles, so nice

And laughter like music
Yet tender and low
And tears become crystals
And minds overflow
