Silent isles and stony towers
Must have served a purpose.
Step inside my mirror,
When I feel the mist come down.
Wedding rings and pretty things
Won't melt the hearts of ice queens.
Ship of dreams, carry me where the last wave falls.
Years go by, pains won't die
When silence is unbroken.
A lifetime is a long time,
When one day never ends.
Words that should be still for good
Forever burn unspoken.
Ship of dreams, carry me where the last wave falls.
Evergreen, say to me:
Will your light hide the darkness?
Don't seem to belong here,
Don't know how I arrived.
Faery lights on forest nights
Will ease the tears in falling.
Ship of dreams, carry me where the last wave falls,
Where the sweet song calls,
Where the last wave falls.
