Lyric

Autumn winds, frost on the ground

Fallen leaves drift as moonlight surrounds

A lone lamp still burns in some distant home

Dreams return a thousand miles, but answers unknown

Meeting was hard, parting even more

Gentle rain soaks the robe I wore

Who can sever this tender flame?

One thought turns to ash, yet dreams remain

My heart calls you, yet I dare not speak

Shadows entwined beneath the lamp’s weak streak

Longing is a riddle without an end

Across the mountains, it will never bend

If we had never met back then

Perhaps life would know no joy, no pain

Yet fate had written in dreams before

Love in our bones, forevermore

Through the gate of longing, sorrow flows

Sent in letters no one knows

Last night the stars shone as before

But you walked away from the dream I adore

Had I known longing binds the world of men

Better to part, never meet again

Yet I wish in another life to meet you once more

To hold one true moment, as we did before

Yearning falls like silent rain

Filling hearts, then turning to pain

A thousand lonely nights apart

Yet reunion shines like fleeting art

If time could turn and start anew

I’d walk with you, faithful and true

Endless longing buries deep inside

Brief memories in the heart reside

If we meet again beneath the moon’s light

Let the world never pull us from sight

With you I’d solve all, gladly so

Longing and love until dawn’s glow
