The Farewell

I wanted to live on top of a mountain But it's cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love But I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan And each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love's funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep So for the last time I'm trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love And you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly Amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow's End Somewhere behind Andromeda I've been waiting till the end of December But no more will I ride For the winter solstice's child Will pass away silently on a midsummer's night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel Serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms Cover me with elder flowers And take me down to my beloved sea I'm so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midgnight sun Where I will sing and dance again And my laughter will be heard Echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I'm going home To a place where love is more Than just a four-letter word And as I kiss the memory of your goodnight I'm beginning to see the light...
