VI Lyrics

it all came back then
hopes unfulfilled
treasures lost
roads untrodden
bridges never crossed
loves unloved

reach out for your arms that I might hold you
our silences meet
you do not respond
our lives disappear
you are killing us
our times ending here
you are leaving us

riddles for the trees
a longing silence
words for the desert
for sleep profound
secrets for the sea
suns for stars
for suns

singing empty songs
a traveller's tired feet
he threw her memory to the wind
it made him hate daylight and spring

tired eyes
dreamland silence
the warmth of glowing snow
the darkness beyond
and her empty eyes
he laid himself down finally
