Galgeras - Cast To Part lyrics

rate me

"Violets are dead, a faded ribbon, <br />

And a dusty curl or so; <br />

Half-torn notes, forgotten tokens<br />

Of some heartache ago.<br />

<br />

Kneeling by the hearthstone sadly<br />

See, I throw them in the grate; <br />

Crackling now they burn, these ruins<br />

Of my joy and luckless fate.<br />

<br />

Lover's vows, oaths false and flightly, <br />

Up the chimney fast they fly; <br />

And the little god, I fancy, <br />

All unseen, stands chuckling by! <br />

<br />

Still I sit beside the hearthstone, <br />

Dream-of what I cannot tell<br />

Watch the sparks amid the ashes dying out.<br />

Goodnight. Farewell."
