Quicksilver Days Songtext
von Strawbs

Once we went dancing through quicksilver days
Sad is the heart that is resting at last
Fountains still flow with endless tears
Lessons reflect from history past


Towers that once sheltered us crumble in ruin
The fiery red of vengeance fulfilled
Flood waters rising cover our heads
We lament for those whose blood has been spilled

Eyes that were sparkling sapphire clear
Hunting for light in the shadowy deep
Hope may still dawn with each new day
Under a mantle of cloud we sleep
