Farewell Bells
(to Eva)
Two little children playing on the ground
You wanna touch them, you just make a sound
So they can hear your windplay in the grass
They just wonder, they don’t ask
Two little children playing in the sea
You wanna tell a secret silently
So they can see your windplay in the waves
they just wonder, they don’t stay
And there’s a naked woman shedding nacreous tears
Your whispers come out silent swallowed by eternity
Your sorries die in shadows, your prayers drown in the seas
Your farewell bells
Who’ll understand the footprints in the sand
Who’ll understand the petals floating on the lake
Who’ll understand a feather swinging through the air
Who’ll understand the space between the life and death
Two little children dancing on the ice
They’re like two angels in the paradise
Thousands of snowflakes pouring from their wings
Through your wedding ring
Who’ll understand the footprints in the snow
Who’ll understand the frostplays on the window
Who’ll understand the flowers blooming in the spring
Who’ll understand the subtle art of wondering
And there’s a naked woman shedding nacreous tears
Your whispers come out silent swallowed by eternity
Your sorries die in shadows, your prayers drown in the seas
Your farewell bells
Two little children playing on the floor
A subtle breeze comes in through open door
So they can see a sunray through a veil
No one tells a fairy-tale
Who’ll understand the pearls blooming in the shells
Who’ll understand if no one hears your farewell bells
