Amorphis - Elegy : Weeper On The Shore
 

Amorphis



Elegy



Weeper On The Shore





In the vale where I once listened out for the light



Where the little birds warble



The ptarmigans babble



And my heart looked for some rest from its trouble







I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside



And a fair young girl on the shore I espied



Who was sitting and weeping



To see the waves leaping



And over the skyline sad vigil was keeping.







O why are you weeping alone on the shore?



Now still from your eyes I can see the tears pour.



What sorrow and smart



So pierces your heart



That even at midnight it will not depart?
