When the wind brings the d**h of autumn To the summer that spent its fortune Then I must go – and can I keep These memories from uneasy sleep? Raptures from the black tunnel A paddle of love from the deep Raptures from the black tunnel A paddle of love from the deep When the sea brings a shining necklace To the shore where the rats are reckless Then I must go – and can I keep These souvenirs from uneasy chairs? Bright smiles from the battlefield A beam of sun from your hair Bright smiles from the battlefield
A beam of sun from your hair Bright smiles from the battlefield A beam of sun from your hair Bright smiles from the battlefield A beam of sun from your hair Now when the sky brings a burning seabird To the fortress where songs are not heard I feel I must go – and can I keep now These reminders of uneasy dreams? Bright embers from the cities' end A flash of light from the streams Bright embers from the cities' end A flash of light from the streams
