The Maiden And The River Lyrics

Now as I'm settled so old and outired
And no one's here to tell about my The things I did - the words I said
live Though time passed by - I can't
I'll sing this lonely tune again and forget
again In hopeless times - alone I've cried
To bear the echos in my mind. Time, time - pass me by!

The things I did - the words I said
A youngster's guilt once taken upon
The strengthening shoulders of a growing Though time passed by - I can't
man forget
The weakness age has rolled in 'em pines In hopeless times - alone I've
Has not reduced the burdens I bear. cried
Time, time - pass me by!

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! The things I did - the words I said
Be kind to me my blistered feet! Though time passed by - I can't
Obey! My swollen tongue for once forget
in my life I have to - to - In hopeless times - alone I've
........." cried
Time, time - pass me by!

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.
