Only the freezing silence around you
time stood entirely still
You wished that your hands could push
away the heavy years
Endless longing to roam the earth
The others had gone, you remained on the shore
Life was elsewhere and only you were here
You wanted to row, face the storm
Chorus:
At last, the oars set in water
Row into the stream of white
For only a moment, the oars set in water
go where your soul longs to be
On the open sea you sail out of the past
never could you return home
The still surface reflects your face
gone is the the trust of a child from the eyes
