I Must Return

Lyrics for I Must Return

I won't come back, I must return I won't come back, I must return Can't let it fade, and wear away Can't let it fade, and wear away I WON'T COME BACK (Tell me where have you been, tell me!) I MUST RETURN (Tell me, what's in your eyes, tell me!) I WON'T COME BACK (Tell me where have you been, tell me!) I MUST RETURN (Tell me, what's in your eyes, tell me!) DON'T SHUT ME OUT! Been to a place, where waterfalls of jade Flow into lakes of black and coral shade Wherе sapphire birds, are diving from the shorе Their silent splashes heard no more I WON'T COME BACK (Tell me...) I MUST RETURN (Tell me, what have you seen, tell me!) WON'T SHUT YOU OUT! He's been to a place, where witches dressed in white Gallop on steeds that race into the light In valleys that eclipse and are no more Their crystal laughter heard no more THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON CUT AS SHARP AS A KNIFE THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON CAME REMINDING OF LIFE Don't open windows DON'T OPEN WINDOWS! I WON'T COME BACK (Take me to wherever you were!) I MUST RETURN (Feels like I was already there!) I WON'T COME BACK (Take me to wherever you were!) I MUST RETURN (Feels like I was already there!) THEN YOU CAN SEE! Galloping steeds that race into the light Black coral lakes, the witches dressed in white Their crystal laughter to be heard no more The valleys that eclipse and are no more Petrified lakes, I know that I was there I KNOW I REALLY SAW THEM! THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON CUT AS SHARP AS A KNIFE THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST AND THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD STOOD STILL IN THE LIGHT THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST AND THE CALL OF A BIRD CAME AND SHATTERED THE SKY THEN AND THERE IS SILENCE, LIKE A DIAMOND FLAME, A BLIND THEN AND THERE IS THE SUNBURST AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON COMES REMINDING OF LIFE! AND A MILLION NOTES OF MUSIC, A MILLION VIBRANT SOUNDS WAS THE UNIVERSE OUR BODY, THE INSTRUMENT OF SONG? Ô THE SEVEN SONGS OF LACE, HEAR THEM ECHOING, DEEPLY RESOUNDING! THE RITUAL OF RIVERS! OH-OH! WE'RE FREE! SEE THE DIVING OF THE SOUL BIRD, SEE THE SKY GO BY, SPINNING FOREVER! ALL UNIVERSES CHIMING, THE TIME TO BE! We open windows, we open windows, WE OPEN WINDOWS! Ô THE SEVEN SONGS OF LACE, HEAR THEM ECHOING, DEEPLY RESOUNDING! THE RITUAL OF RIVERS! OH-OH! WE'RE FREE! SEE THE DIVING OF THE SOUL BIRD, SEE THE SKY GO BY, SPINNING FOREVER! ALL UNIVERSES CHIMING, THE TIME TO BE! WE'RE THE SUMMER IN ITS FLIGHT WE'RE THE SPLENDOR IN EVERY COLOR THE SYMPHONY OF NIGHT, THE STRINGS, THE REEDS! WE'RE THE BREATHING OF THE TREES WE'RE THE OPENING OF EVERY FLOWER WE BECAME EVERYTHING THE NIGHT WE DIED! The night we died The night we died The night we died, the night we died, THE NIGHT WE DIED! Don't open windows!
