lyrics

Shall I take you a while to the sea?
Shall I take you beneath the tall trees?
Shall I you to the heavens, but let you return,
to the Earth if you please.
Shall I light you a tiny light,
No more than a star?
That, in the morning will shine on you,
With a light so clear but so far.

You must return to the sea,
Pilot your ship far away.
But with your star in the heavens, I will hope you’ll return.
Once again for your judment day.

Shall I wrap you in cloths of gold?
Shall I powder you all in ash?
Shall I chain you so tightly, that should you breath out,
Then the chains around you would smash?
You can hold long to your breath,
As the wild geese fly away.
And I know you wont struggle and you won’t feel a pain,
And the chains a round you will stay.

You must return to the sky,
Glide on wings of ice.
But you, like your fathers, must stay away from the Sun,
Near to the ground must suffice.

Let me pull you deep down in my world,
With soft robes to cover your head?
With soft robes to cover and keep you so warm,
While you sleep in your bed.
I’ll put flowers into your hair,
Jasmine and orchids white.
Oh and garlands of maple, as red as the flames,
To give you always some light.

You must return to the Fire,
Sleep in its gentle heat.
And in it’s ever wandering touch,
All of your wounds it will treat.

Will you not fly with the snow?
Will you not melt in the spring?
Will you not return when you go away,
Like the green that the new year will bring?
I wish I could dance once more with you,
As I wish upon your star.
That one day we will meet within a strangers eyes.
In a place so near but so far.

You must return to the soil,
Gently caress it’s old faith.
Like a leaf, you are falling, please may I catch you,
And please may I keep you safe.
