Oh, you were singing
While the world went wrong
The flowers were clinging
To the last words of your song

And the free birds were flying north
To see if you were leaving
On the night that the moon stole
The heat of the sun

Oh, can't you hear you mother crying?
As your footsteps fade away
The whole world is dying
For you are to be locked away

Oh, my love and I are drifting on
The white water
Carrying us away from each other
As another love dies in the winter
Coming down

Oh you are gone
And my life is so cold and lonely
She is on the run and you go to that unholy place
Where the breathless dead long for
Even pain's embrace
Even that great hero

Oh, Charon's not hesitating
Kore, you are sinking down to that one who sits there waiting
But my love has left me to meet you
