[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:时间戳工具V2.0_20200810] [offset:0] [00:00.06]On a winter's night stars are cold and bright in the sky [00:01.23]The slumber of the earth is pure and deep [00:02.10]From a distant wood drifts the echo of a beast [00:09.30]The old man stirs and wakens in the night [01:01.50]He stands before his window gazing at the grave [01:04.23]Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind [01:05.31]And though his life is empty he pretends that she's still there [01:06.69]With hunger in his soul he yearns for life and love gone by [01:10.59]With memories his one and only joy [01:12.63]All he has to give he would give to bring back the life [01:14.01]And raise the one who lies beneath the snow [01:15.87]He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past [01:22.20]The faces of their youth still glow with new found love [01:23.28]But the picture's faded and time has stolen youth away [01:24.45]With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips [01:25.59]He felt another presence in the room [01:26.79]He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose [01:27.81]And turned to face the image that he knew [01:34.68]She stood before him and her hand reached out for his [01:35.79]A peaceful light shone in her eyes [01:36.51]She said she'd come to soothe him and someday they'd be as one [01:37.68]She began to fade and her image disappeared [01:38.61]So he was left alone to face the night [01:39.42]Never in his life had he been so held in awe [02:14.13]As he faced the apparition of his wife [02:16.08]He stood before the window gazing at the grave [02:33.93]And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn [02:36.96]He knew that she was waiting that someday they'd be as one
