TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA LYRICS

1. Winter Palace

[Instrumental]

[Poetry by Paul O'Neill]

Inside an arctic forest
Far in the past of mine
They built a winter palace
Filled with treasures truly divine

Some say that it was just a legend
Or long ago found and plundered
But children believe it is still
And even some old folks wondered

But the wise said, anyone that looked for it
Were fools, by myths deceived
But if one day someone should discover it
Those wise ones will say.
Of course, they always had believed

2. Dreams Of Fireflies (On A Christmas Night)

[Instrumental]

[Poetry by Paul O'Neill]

Stars and dandelions
Like coins thrown into wells
Are thin that we can wish uopn
And where our dreams do dwell

But the dark it is the darkness
It's the stars that make it night
For the night is god's cathedral
Which one enters at twilight

And occasionally when needed
Some stars will leave the evening skies
And for a short while dwell amongst us
In the dreams of fireflies

3. I Had A Memory

Time, could you please help
I had a memory
I somehow lost in the past

Christmas but glittering
and I've been wondering
Do you hear the echoes it cast

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Lord

Time it would not divide
What th heart keeps inside
Words that don't try to
Deceive

And on this christmas night
Better by candlelight
to trust like a young child
believes

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Lord
Believe

Time it would not divide
What th heart keeps inside
Words that don't try to deceive

Removed sorrow
Dreams to follow
Appears on this day

Believe
Believe
Believe
Oh Lord

Time, could you please help
I had a memory
I somehow lost in the past

4. Someday

He won the war
In a foreign land
That was no hero
That was my old man

And he came back home
Where he met his wife
And he raised his kids
While he made a life

Now he never preached
Though he always knew
And we watched him close
Just to pick up clues

And sometimes late
In the dead of night
I can see him there
In the pale moonlight

I am trying
And I don't know how
And I don't know when
But I'll have to tell him
Someday

And as for this woman
My father wed
We knew we were loved
With the words unsaid

And when we were young
She taught us all to read
And then one by one
She would watch us leave

Never saw her cry
For she hid her tears
As one by one
We would Disappear

But of course we'd write
And of course we'd call
Just to hear her voice
Whenever we would fall

I am trying
And I don't know how
And I don't know when
But I'll have to tell him
Someday

So I wrote these wordsAnd I hope they last
For the years have come
And the years have past

Think of all they gave
And the years have past

Think of all they gave
Think of all the debt
But can't find a way
To repay them yet

For the days still come
And the debt still mounts
And do words unsaid
Ever really count

But sometimes still
In the dead of night
I can see them there
In the pale moonlight

I am trying
And I don't know how
And I don't know when
But I'll have to tell him
Someday

5. Time You Should Be Sleeping

Time you should be sleeping
Everyone around you
Is already dreaming
And closely by

Stars are looking downward
Glad that they have found you
Watching and protecting
So you should try

To close your eyes until tomorrow
Childhood dreams are always new
And when you are there I'll follow
And believe that my whole life is...

I can see you breathing
Know that I am near you
Feel the evening whisper
In gentle sighs

To close your eyes until tomorrow
Childhood dreams are always new
And when you are there I'll follow
And believe that my whole life is...
You
