Farewell, oh farewell Sweet dancers in the wind I see you are prepared to come with me The long way home again Farewell, my beloved (Farewell to you) I whisper to a fading flower (I greet your embrace) There's so much life in dying After all this time you can go to sleep (After all this time that pa**ed I can go to sleep) This well-known melody Rises up above the orphaned trees Rejoining the restless wind Bequeath scarlet rain to hunted leaves Through this decay, you can see her How she wanders How she cries silent tears Midnight's coming all too soon And she has to end what she's begun Come near come near to me I know you are frightened
And I can't keep you safe But see there's nothing holding you anymore So please, don't insist on the waste And now I see your eyes (I'm waiting for you) Your broken beauty is my guide (I welcome your kiss) There's so much life in dying Take my hand, Rest your head and seek relief (I've saved my life for you, Oh come near, let me seek relief) Hope in her hair And her fingers borrow pity out of your heart Her eyes are staring right through you And you can see yourself in them Sweet dancers There is nothing holding you anymore Please come with me, my dear Now autumn's tears begin to freeze And I'm willing to leave again
