Sliver (The Sheltered Garden) Songtext
So many years now
So far and further
The dragons still sleeping in their golden winter caves
Alone in a garden
The coming of stormclouds
They carried a foul gift
A rusty splinter for my eye
And in the sheltered garden
That′s where I gained and left a part of me there
The pain became a sign
Forever a curse
Forever a weight
The far side of m
A wound kept open
Did I want it to mend?
You could not remove me
From the garden where you slept
Legend became myth
The sliver a pillar
Afraid of the darkness and of the windswept light of life
And in the sheltered garden
That's where I gained and left a part of me there
The pain became a sign
Forever a curse, forever a weight
The far side of me
And the wind carries salt over miles from a distant sea
Early spring drips its light through the leaves
Of the trees, at the back, far away in a sheltered yard
Milky sun, and forever the clouds
No one is home anymore
And I thought that I heard voices deep down inside of me
But I must have been dreaming, just like always
But the wind carries salt from the sea again
In my eye to remind me again that I was never really gone
So far and further
The dragons still sleeping in their golden winter caves
Alone in a garden
The coming of stormclouds
They carried a foul gift
A rusty splinter for my eye
And in the sheltered garden
That′s where I gained and left a part of me there
The pain became a sign
Forever a curse
Forever a weight
The far side of m
A wound kept open
Did I want it to mend?
You could not remove me
From the garden where you slept
Legend became myth
The sliver a pillar
Afraid of the darkness and of the windswept light of life
And in the sheltered garden
That's where I gained and left a part of me there
The pain became a sign
Forever a curse, forever a weight
The far side of me
And the wind carries salt over miles from a distant sea
Early spring drips its light through the leaves
Of the trees, at the back, far away in a sheltered yard
Milky sun, and forever the clouds
No one is home anymore
And I thought that I heard voices deep down inside of me
But I must have been dreaming, just like always
But the wind carries salt from the sea again
In my eye to remind me again that I was never really gone
