《Excerpt from ”Lamplight Symphony” (Live 1977-1978)》歌词

[00:00:00] On a winter's night stars are cold and bright in the sky

[00:00:01] The slumber of the earth is pure and deep

[00:00:02] From a distant wood drifts the echo of a beast

[00:00:09] The old man stirs and wakens in the night

[00:01:01] He stands before his window gazing at the grave

[00:01:04] Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind

[00:01:05] And though his life is empty he pretends that she's still there

[00:01:06] With hunger in his soul he yearns for life and love gone by

[00:01:10] With memories his one and only joy

[00:01:12] All he has to give he would give to bring back the life

[00:01:14] And raise the one who lies beneath the snow

[00:01:15] He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past

[00:01:22] The faces of their youth still glow with new found love

[00:01:23] But the picture's faded and time has stolen youth away

[00:01:24] With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips

[00:01:25] He felt another presence in the room

[00:01:26] He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose

[00:01:27] And turned to face the image that he knew

[00:01:34] She stood before him and her hand reached out for his

[00:01:35] A peaceful light shone in her eyes

[00:01:36] She said she'd come to soothe him and someday they'd be as one

[00:01:37] She began to fade and her image disappeared

[00:01:38] So he was left alone to face the night

[00:01:39] Never in his life had he been so held in awe

[00:02:14] As he faced the apparition of his wife

[00:02:16] He stood before the window gazing at the grave

[00:02:33] And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn

[00:02:36] He knew that she was waiting that someday they'd be as one
