Close to the Sea 5:51
Music & lyrics composed by Wolfgang Vollmuth, 1987
Recorded in 1988
Dreaming of love or something else
Hoping the spring would ring its bells
A peculiar light from the farthest shore
Was piercing through the storm
A year is born
Changing is like a symphony
Feeling the changes of the year
A storm of tunes of unwritten notes
Is blowing in my ears
In my ears
Haven't you heard of the tale
Of an old white bearded man
His raven and his castle are the proofs of his existence
A long long time ago
When kings and queens and tales of honour
Were reality
Looking beyond the sky
He's staring at a glimmering star
He's the preacher of time
He's the monument of You & I
Haven't you heard of the tale
Of an old white bearded man
His raven and his castle are the proofs of his existence
A long long time ago
When kings and queens and tales of honour
Were reality
Looking beyond the sky
He's staring at a glimmering star
He's the preacher of time
He's the monument of You & I
The old man's castle stands on a dune
Close to the sea right under the moon
The raven watched these desert ruins
Of perpetual change waiting for the doom
Old Henry's Rock lay asleep in the sand
But where is this land
Haven't you heard of the tale
Of an old white bearded man
His raven and his castle are the proofs of his existence
A long long time ago
When kings and queens and tales of honour
Were reality
