lyrics

The light has gone, the silence swallows me.
Around the loss, comforts echo hollowly.
I wish they helped, but nothing can alter how
The thing I loved the most is behind me now.

When shadows lengthen, it’s here I hide.
Thoughts of somewhere safe, a warm place deep inside.
Take me away from all Earthly care,
I will escape into my world so fair.

How I long for fields of green,
And oceans of deep blue.
How I wish for distant shores,
And faces I once knew.
Safe in the knowledge
That all pain will pass in time,
My dreams become my guide,
‘Cause hope survives.

Nothing can reach me inside my fantasy,
The world outside so far removed from me.
A realm of light and endless innocence,
Untouched by time, its beauty never spent.

My strength rekindled, I stand and face the truth,
Leaving behind those golden days of youth.
This world is cold, and though my dreams were sweet,
Whatever comes, I'll face it on my feet.

For fields of green…
For oceans blue…
For starry skies…

For waters swift…
(How I long…)
For distant shores…
For mountains tall…
(How I long…)
For ever more…

I will retreat,
Yes hope will survive above all,
I will regroup,
There’s hope at the heart of the soul,
I will return,
Just hold onto hope when you fall,
‘Cause hope survives.
