A poem for Byzantium — текст песни (Delerium)

(vocals: Joanna Stevens)

unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
i ran away to a room here on the bay
interrupted life again, another new beginning
where the silence echoes you`re no longer with me

here and now, i feel that i`m embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that`s ok

through the darkness i would walk in the streets
confessions never seemed to provide me with a release
held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason
but nothing could separate this burdened mind from me

here and now, i feel that i`m embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that`s ok
and looking out to a different sky will disengage me
absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade

i do not seek and do not intend to find
a calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise
my world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts
and i`ll move on and then forget you all over again
moving on, i can forgive you all over again

here and now, i feel that i`m embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that`s ok
and looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy
absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade
