lyrics

I look into winter, faraway, faraway;
Look into winter now summer's long gone.
I look into winter now faraway summer is lost.

Gold hadn't turned into marble before
I discovered I talk to myself:
Unstructured reflections from too long ago
That matter to nobody else.

I look into winter, faraway, faraway;
Look into winter now summer's long gone.
I look into winter now faraway summer is lost.

Hand in hand in the mist of the ruins were we
On that eschatological day.
In the midst of our courtship, the planet was young.
Sweethearts are selfish that way.

I look into midnight once faraway, faraway;
Look into midnight now evening is nigh.
I look into midnight now faraway daybreak is lost.

Do I embrace the darkness or shun its caress -
Though death will always find me?

Out on the road in the throes of mad youth
Before it got tangled and torn -
I know what broke up that old gang of mine:
A twilight that felt like a dawn.

I look into winter once far-faraway
When looking back at what so opened my heart.
I look into winter now faraway summer is past.

I look into winter once faraway, faraway.
Look into winter now summer's long gone.
I look into winter now faraway summer is lost.

Time falls from my fingers like leaves to the ground
That turn to earth eternal.
