When they met for their first time
He was old and young was she
She came often by his side
Sat and listened for the songs that he sings
And the days passed by like seagulls
And the waves embraced the shore
She sat silently by his side
Just to make him feel not alone
Days ran fast and flied away
And ships marked every year
She became a mother, and her child
Came with her to visit her friend
And his old tales became alive
Like they never ever were gone
They were happy, their eyes were bright
And he no more felt alone
But mortal age is very short
And her age was so too
So she asked her family
To do the best they could do
"Don't you cry for I must go
And here is my last will
Please make him never feel alone
Build a house right near to him
No more tears please for I must go
And here is my last will
Make the lighthouse never feel alone
Build a house right near to him"
Recalling the same gothic wonder as early Dead Can Dance, the latest from Ariana Saraha is a drift through an enchanted dreamworld. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 27, 2022
