lyrics

The first one took off when the brown leaves were blowing
When a scent of the longing grey roads began to unfold
He said: I feel the frost but I haven’t the answer
I’ve been told of that promise that lies far away

I must go

And the second one left when the sun’s heat was beating
Down on the valleys surrendering their green to her gold
He said: the well is going dry, but the rain is not coming
I’ve been told there’s a promise that lies far away

I must go

But no one is sure when the last one has been here
Some say that his story was only the whisper of winds
But others can swear they remember that morning
When he said there’s a promise that lies far away

Far, over the hills
Across seven white deserts
Across seven black seas
If you throw yourself inside
scattered in all directions
giving it all ‘till the ashes
are lighter than air
