Time and Treasure

about

The viola in this track is played by Declan Ryan.

lyrics

Moon rising up above the ocean
sun falling down below the sea
and I’m so far away
from any break of day
so far from the place where I should be.

Someone is waiting in the distance
someone I’m trying hard to find
I knew her long ago
but just like water flows
so flow the crashing waves of time.

Time drips away like water
slipping through our fingers and our fins
I promise, my friend, I’ll find you
and where we meet, another world begins.

Someone is singing in the distance
someone is crying tears of pearl
my maiden of the sea,
maneli – stay with me
and someday, we both will change the world.

Someday, I know that I will find her
someday, at least I think I will
and when at last we meet
her smile will be so sweet
and Earth’s slow rotation will stand still.

Life slips away like treasure
sinking like the mem’ries of our sins
we’re parted, but still I love you
and when we meet, another world begins.
