Woven words seem to rise up
Through the water dark and deep
Their meaning tells a story
Whose secret the water keeps
The pool never turns to ice
Or reflects the infinite sky
The sun never warms its depth
And no creatures there reside
This is a pool of tears they say
From a maiden fair
Who drowned her sorrows there
And on some moonlit night
You will hear her voice so clear
Echo across the shivering moon
But you'll find no one there
Take every word
Every star I see
Fill your soul with these
And return to me
Why never wake up
Look into my eyes
Your life has left you
Now mine eternal sighs
Take every word
Every star I see
Fill your soul with these
And return to me
Why never wake up
Look into my eyes
Your life has left you
Now mine eternal sighs
(The moon came and embraced her)
(In its cold blue shivering light)
And the silence soon fell again
Her voice swallowed in the cloak of night
Words and meaning drown unheard
There are no listening ears
As they return to the water deep
Into the pool of maidens' tears
Take every word
Every star I see
Fill your soul with these
And return to me
Return to me
Return to me...
