Beside The Still Fjord Songtext
von Julie Felix

The May born maiden, Marianne, dwells beside the still fjord
She listens to her heart while mental fingers change the chord
Hearing distant melodies, she tries to find a song
Forgetting that the notes she knows, to your songs all belong

Are you well
Have you been fair
Fare thee well


Well you′ve been released like Abraham from the tragic sacrifice
And so you travelled westward to collect the golden prize
But somewhere on an island there's a song you never learnt
It lingers on the beaches though the words have all been burnt

Are you well
Have you been
Fare thee well

And now you sing of madmen and of sailors on their quest
And all the lovely ladies whom your poems have left undressed
Sadness stains your melting mouth but fire fills your tongue
While you pray that the angels will believe the songs you′ve sung

Are you well
Fare thee well
