On A Stranded Shore – AmorphisBy Silk of blue woven by the moonRed spun by the sunOf the sun’s goldSilver in wrists and in her ringsHair braided in redHer shoes featherlightAs reeds and straws on the shoreAs bark and foliageAs clamshells and sandMy maiden’s fleshNow fish in the lake deepsHer blood now waters blueOh god of sleepTell in my dreamWhere has my maiden goneWhere lies my mermaid nowRise above the wavesFrom the waters’ graveFrom the side of spottled stonesBecome alive againThese shores are for memoryThese waters not for baitingNo shallows for the thirstyNo sun beheld above these shoresNo reflection of the moon on these waters hereMy maiden’s hairGrass on the waters’ edgeNow willows on a shore www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
