lyrics

On a night of autumn dark
I dissolve myself into the park
In the wind the branches sigh
Speak to me of faces, lives gone by

Floating stumbling images I used to know
Lives I’ve lived seem never to have been
Was it I who walked down these paths long ago
Was it I who dreamed

Where do I go on from here
All the doors have shut or simply disappeared
As the light pales through the sky
In the mute cold glow all barren lies

Spirits turned to ghosts like in a childhood dream
Mysteries resolve into a dew
Memories of enchanted days and seraphim
Who spread wings and flew

As I lay me down to sleep
As I pray the lord my souls to keep
For I’ve died and I have woke
And in autumn mornings my heart broke
