The Maiden And The River Lyrics

Now as I'm settled so old and outired

 And no one's here to tell about my live

 I'll sing this lonely tune again and again

 To bear the echos in my mind.

 

 The things I did - the words I said

 Though time passed by - I can't forget

 In hopeless times - alone I've cried

 Time, time - pass me by!

 

 A youngster's guilt once taken upon

 The strengthening shoulders of a growing man

 The weakness age has rolled in 'em pines

 Has not reduced the burdens I bear.

 

 Alone I stood amidst the river

 That flooded lightness onto my soul

 As a simple tune so true in its beauty

 was swirling across the glitters of light.

 

 And as my eyes focused upon

 a distant glitter amidst the woods

 The sudden ungreening of the trees

 unvailed a singing maiden's outstanding line.

 

 "Step forward to the shimmering one!

 Be kind to me my blistered feet!

 Obey! My swollen tongue for once

 in my life I have to - to..."

 

 But not I moved for all my might

 The maiden smiled and walked on by.

 No scream, no words - just the pain

 that echos on and on again.

 

 Since then I never saw again

 The skirts of springtime wandering by.

 For all the colours of the world

 Look dim compared to what I saw that day.
