So Long Forgotten
.
Strange how time carries us
and i can still see your memory
caught in a cage
trapped like a bird in some dark recess
of my mind
Arising from the blue
to sing one more time
A flute's piercing, throaty tune,
one with a harp's sweet golden voice
Spiraling inside my skin
resounding in my pulse
and there before my eyes i see
the eyes so long forgotten
You, who were the paragon af crossroads
now come to rise again
Your presence far departed
the pain long passed away
So how with the distant touch of bittersweet joy
can you give me wings to fly again?
Darkling lover,
who once had borne my heart
there is no place for you
in the now of love and life
Withdraw your hand from across the sky
return to me my senses
Close your eyes, my phantom dream
those eyes so long forgotten
