[ti:Lamplight Symphony] [ar:Kansas] [al:Song For America] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Lamplight Symphony - Kansas (堪萨斯) [00:33.76]On a winter's night stars are cold and bright in the sky [00:39.38] [00:40.38]The slumber of the earth is pure and deep [00:44.59] [00:46.51]From a distant wood drifts the echo of a beast [00:52.31] [00:53.19]The old man stirs and awakens in the night [00:57.24] [00:59.05]He stands before his window gazing at the grave [01:03.55] [01:05.04]Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind [01:09.10] [01:11.04]And though his life is empty he pretends that she's still there [01:18.52] [01:24.53]With hunger in his soul he yearns for life and love gone by [01:30.77] [01:31.95]With memories his one and only joy [01:35.39] [01:37.33]With all he has to give he would give to bring back the life [01:43.56] [01:44.18]And raise the one who lies beneath the snow [01:48.67] [01:49.73]He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past [01:54.35] [01:55.72]The faces of their youth still glow with new found love [02:00.41] [02:01.79]But the picture's faded and time has stolen youth away yeah yeah [02:11.95] [02:21.56]With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips [02:25.94] [02:26.56]He felt another presence in the room [02:29.98] [02:33.42]He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose [02:37.97] [02:38.85]And turned to face the image that he knew [02:42.46] [02:45.71]She stood before him and her hand reached out for his [02:50.58] [02:52.39]Peaceful light shone in her eyes [02:57.44] [02:58.57]She said she'd come to soothe him and someday they'd be as one [03:03.03] [06:58.74]She began to fade and her image disappeared [07:04.61] [07:05.49]So he was left alone to face another night [07:09.92] [07:11.72]But never in his life had he been so held in awe [07:17.84] [07:18.40]As he faced the apparition of his wife [07:23.27] [07:24.27]He stood before the window gazing at the grave [07:28.82] [07:30.33]And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn [07:34.76] [07:36.32]He knew that she was waiting that someday they'd be as one
