Waiting for the Wind

One day in a land so far away A fragile queen fell in cold disgrace She sold her love in a winter whiff For fear to get lost For fear to get burned 'Till that night something blew out the door A stranger appeared on the curtain "Who are you, my lord? Why'd you come down here?" "I've fought among my worst nightmare With a flow that has dragged me here Walking for miles and miles To see your frozen kingdom To see your cold plain Other whispers have told me That I can't come here But I couldn't listen And I've walked with my fears Slept in the light of the southern stars Heard the wings of the western angels Dancing with the eastern jackals But I've been their prey How many days and years gone by Just locked in a dreaming flight When magpies sold it for gain They were lost In the dark of the night" Then the queen was impressed And her fears disappeared In that time nothing seemed too empty But that cold was still inside Gripped in a shady hole When that man, against the sorrow Had arrived, in the end Struggling and not pretending Swept away all the tears Just to be scared no more Another day, another wind is coming Another chance to rise up from the fall With patience I'll recover all the pieces Forgetting all the fear I used to know When mermaids' song will echo on the seven seas My hands will pose on you and on your ears I will recover all we lost and left in shards To be as one and not to be divided From what is on and what is now supposed to be By standing down and waiting for the wind
