I won't come back, I must return (bis)

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

Where sapphire birds, are diving from the shore

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!

DON'T OPEN WINDOWS...
