Other Side Of The Wall

(albüm: The Night Siren - 2017)

For those burned by the sun
The silent voiceless ones
Those stolen golden years
Of wonder filled with fear

Say it now, say it how
All around
Of how love's meant to be

We shared a wine so rare
When rose and thorn entwined
A lifetime kept apart
An Eden undermined

Say it now, say it how
All around
Of how love's meant to be

The sun dappled walk under trees
Holding your hand
A walled-up gateway ringed by leaves
Misty and damp
Lying there hidden in the mud
A silver locket, the hinge refused to move
As raindrops poured through the bowers
We sheltered in an old pavilion
You fell asleep on my arm
Something moved the clasp
As you called out my name
Inside I saw a woman
Who shared your same face
You were dreaming
Of a once forbidden embrace
A veil of snow, a shroud
A memory engraved
Fragments of a lost love's fate
