[00:01.36]In the consecrated chambers
[00:04.86]
[00:06.12]Of a mountain's winter day
[00:10.64]
[00:13.78]I left her at the turning
[00:17.17]
[00:18.50]To go on her seeking way
[00:23.21]
[00:26.26]To pass o'er meadows green and bare
[00:30.60]
[00:31.28]Or brown as her auburn hair
[00:42.11]
[00:43.34]O'er all the waters on the face of the earth
[00:47.97]
[00:48.70]To find that I really care
[00:54.55]
[01:23.12]And the myriad reflections of myself
[01:27.03]In her buttons on her oversize navy coat
[01:32.22]
[01:35.73]But only reflections and never an image
[01:40.05]
[01:40.62]In her mind's unfathomable moat
[01:44.61]
[01:48.05]But some castles where she wanders
[01:51.42]
[01:52.56]Are yet crumbling into dust
[02:03.88]
[02:05.40]In this house of visions on top of the hill
[02:09.49]
[02:10.22]The glass has turned to rust
[02:16.15]
[03:53.98]So never again will I look in her eyes
[03:58.76]
[03:59.28]Nor shall she hear my voice
[04:04.45]
[04:06.86]But I hope she will find a better man
[04:10.98]
[04:11.90]To love him and rejoice
[04:18.01]
[04:19.61]And he will turn the secret key
[04:23.26]
[04:24.19]Nay I know it's not up to him
[04:36.53]
[04:37.42]But somehow in his words and love
[04:42.00]
[04:42.58]Answer her every whim
[04:48.72]
[05:18.17]So seek ye lass for what you wish
[05:22.35]
[05:23.41]But in your troubled heart
[05:28.93]
[05:31.10]And let not your mind race ahead of your breast
[05:35.07]
[05:36.03]For the quicker shall you part
[05:42.11]
[05:43.80]And wait for the click that you speak dear of
[05:48.00]
[05:48.84]And never will you run
[06:00.92]
[06:01.84]Light will splinter through open clouds
[06:06.44]And you'll look straight at a face like the sun
[06:13.87]
