Winter's Sleep

My eyes turn black as pitch My gaze grows bleary and dull Doze my prisoner with sleep In my rooms, rimed with frost My heart is frozen and slow It's snowing in my soul Empty, the halls of my heart The candle burns, flicker and fade I am gone with the autumn wind I am come with the winter's gloom Murdered by the darts of light Born of the great big blue I am of the dream of life I am come with the winter's gloom Of the light of bygone time Born of the greath big blue I'm crouched by the cradle of time Hidden, by dark woods Concealed by the roots of trees Under a mount of moss My heart is frozen and slow It's snowing in my soul Empty, the halls of my heart The candle burns, flicker and fade I am gone with the autumn wind I am come with the winter's gloom Murdered by the darts of light Born of the great big blue I am of the dream of life I am come with the winter's gloom Of the light of bygone time Born of the greath big blue I am of the stuff of stars Of the light of bygone time I am of the wish of death I am of the dream of life
