Lanternlight Songtext
von Nightwish

Gone is the hurt, the wait
Gone is the warmth of day
A stray boat saved
Happy memories engraved
On into a velvety night
Beneath a lantern light

Last night brought the heaviest of snows
Melting the songs of old
Tying the boat, write a new one soon
Sending me to the drowning moon
Far above a lantern light


I′m in the light and flood
I'm in the four winds
I′m the waves, shaping pebbles, flawless gems
I am the snow on your palm
I am the secret stream
Moss beneath your feet
I am you who climbed off my back
Not long ago
A sheltered song
In a world now gone
Petrichor
The timeless

Turn loose, the swaying boat
Meltwater, sound of spring
I hear our song now, sung by the free
For a thousand more tomorrows
Of an incomplete weave
To the meadows, I go
I'll be waiting for you
Once upon a lantern light

I walk now toward the trees
I am the secret stream
The night falling at my feet
Into the forest of Yesterwynde
