Winter's Verge - The Old Man’s Wish lyrics

rate me

Back then when I was still young, many a fullmoon ago, <br />

I was the greatest in the land, a soother of the soul<br />

My fingers touched a violin and magic filled the air<br />

Your spirit was then purified, and leave you would not dare.<br />

All was well until one day, a new face came to hear me play, <br />

He stood and watched "the fool" he said, he laughed at me then turned and left<br />

<br />

Tear my heart, I have lost my passion<br />

Emptiness is was roams inside<br />

Fear and pain, are all that guide me<br />

My past, a thought, it's all that's left.<br />

<br />

I stopped to play and watched him go, the end had come, my gift was gone<br />

I walked alone the fateful night, what will I do now with my life?<br />

Thirty years before this day, I still remember how I played, <br />

Now an old man near his death I pray to play just once again<br />

Before this night will come to pass, <br />

I have the need to relive my past<br />

I found a case beneath the dust, within lay my one true love<br />

I held it up and closed my eyes, that's when I felt the endless lust<br />

Heart and soul played through the night<br />

Strings and man, become one<br />

If only once this wish could happen in the old man's lifetime<br />

He'd close his eyes before the dawn would come
