The Return

Woven words seem to rise up
Through the water dark and deep
Their meaning tells a story
Whose secret the water keeps

The pool never turns to ice
Or reflects the infinite sky
The sun never warms its depth
And no creatures there reside

This is a pool of tears they say
From a maiden fair
Who drowned her sorrows there

And on some moonlit night
You will hear her voice so clear
Echo across the shivering moon
But you'll find no one there

Take every world
Every star I see
Fill your soul with there
And return to me

Why never wake up?
Look into my eyes!
Your life has left you
Now mine eternal sighs

Take every world
Every star I see
Fill your soul with these
And return to me

Why never wake up?
Look into my eyes!
Your life has left you
Now mine eternal sighs

The moon came and embraced her
In its cold, blue, shivering light
And the silence soon fell again
Her voice swallowed in the cloak of night

Words and meaning drown unheard
There are no listening ears
As they return to the water deep
Into the pool of maidens' tears

Take every world
Every star I see
Fill your soul with these
And return to me...
