Lyrics for Mystery Binds

A child devoured on the western wind As others were I must have been Others saw a hovering ring A dream retrieved from a common spring The very same source taken My sorrow at once awakened Awakened Awakened Awakened We walk apart on the sand and stone Yet all I've loved, I've loved alone Silver craft, a stormy dawn The wretched raft of lif械 is drawn For every ounce of wast械d will More mystery binds me still Binds me Binds me Binds me Still From the vault inside the mountain All the coins from every fountain And from the sun that 'round us rolled Cars and streets, everything gold Lightening dashed, tossed and torn I, at last, took demon form All I've loved I've loved alone All I've loved I've loved alone And all I've loved I've loved alone All I've loved I've loved alone
