Stonecircle - Persephone's Dream lyrics

rate me

(music and lyrics by G. Schoemaker)<br />

Late in the evening, when fires burn bright,<br />

Sparks float above the fallen snow.<br />

A lonely fair maiden stares at the light,<br />

Watching her many dreams aglow.<br />

Winter's dream, winter's dream<br />

(Cold, cold, winter's eve)<br />

Bread made this morning in ovens of stone,<br />

Crumbs on the tabletop remain.<br />

Wine made from cherries she's drinking alone,<br />

Spilling her memories like rain.<br />

A shawl spun from cotton, linen and flax<br />

Covered the maiden where she lay.<br />

Consciousness passing, over and back,<br />

Keeping the furies all at bay.<br />

The maiden wakes slowly, there's ash in her hair.<br />

The soft glow of embers strike her bed.<br />

Demeter's young daughter accepts Hades' care,<br />

A cold winter's reverie ahead.
