Lyrics:
The heavens dark and steep unfolding above me
Stars wheel out as night grows deep
Sleepwalking to the valley of the moon
I look for your trace among the blooms
Long ago I strayed into a murky dream
I heard a quiet tune, a voice across the stream
I found you singing in the circle of the shades
A lament divine, a lament from faraway time
Once you held the sun
Flaring light upon your palm
Gleam in blackest night
The shining in your eyes
Once you held my soul
Dying ember on your palm
Gleam in blackest night
The shining in your eyes
When close to you I did not fear the dark
Death seemed far away the day I met your eyes
You were the tempest whirling through the wailing trees
You were the blinding flame, unbound and free
I can’t recall anymore where you have gone
Did you return home? Back to your own kin?
Do you sing in the land beyond the stream?
A lament divine, a lament from faraway time
I cannot hold the wind
I cannot keep the light of stars
Cannot touch the flame
Or steer the river’s path
How could I have held you?
How could I have kept you mine?
The fairest light of all
A gleam in the black
