The Night And The Silent Water Lyrics - Morningrise - Opeth

And so you left us 

Jaded and gaunt, some September 

Wilted with the seasons 

But hidden inside the delusion 

I saw you eyes, somewhere 

Devoid of death 

The aura poises amidst (the storm) 

In solid tears I linger 

A parlor glade, moonlit sorrow 

Lonely resting pools 

Relics of the moon-dogged lake 

Whisper: "All your words are miss given" 

Am I like them? 

Those who mourn and turn away 

Those who would give anything 

To see you again 

If only for another second 

Your face was, like the photograph 

Painted white 

We did not speak very often about it 

What does it matter now? 

Cloak of autumn shroud 

I gaze, dim ricochet of stars 

I reckon it is time for me to leave 

You sleep in the light 

Yet the night and the silent water 

Still so dark...
