The blazing heat of life
Lies over the dark, grey mountains
a tensed bow of cloud
Wrapped in a lifetime of longing
In the silence you wait for spring
And burn silently into a new day
Bright embers break through
over the brown peaks
flow over the cold scree and jagged snow crust
where you walked as a child
Do you know dear friend
The world is both bright and warm
The stone-built city is collapsing
Happiness will find you again
In the silence you wait for spring
And burn silently into a new day
Bright embers break through
Over the brown peaks
flow over the cold scree and jagged snow crust
where you walked as a child
