(Ferry)
|
Before I die I'll write this letter
|
Here are the secrets you must know
|
Until the cloak of evening shadow
|
Changes to mantle of the dawn
|
Will it be sunny then I wonder'
|
Rolling and turning
|
How can I sleep'
|
Hold on till morning
|
What if I fall'
|
Over the hills and down the valleys
|
Soaring aloft and far below
|
Lying on stony ground the fragments
|
Truth is the seed we tried to sow
|
Marking the time spent on our journey
|
There isn't much we have to show
|
Counting the cost in money only
|
Strikes me as funny don't you know'
|
Tongue tied the thread of conversation
|
Weighing the words one tries to use
|
Nevertheless communication
|
This is the gift you must not lose
|
Hauling me always are the voices
|
Tell us are you ready now'
|
Sometimes I wonder if they're real
|
We're ready to receive you now
|
Or is it my own imagination'
|
Have you any more to say'
|
Guilt is a wound that's hard to heal
|
It's a cross you have to bear
|
Could it be evil thoughts become me
|
Tell us what you're thinking now
|
Some things are better left unsaid
|
Magical moment
|
The spell it is breaking
|
There is no light here
|
Is there no key'
|
