Snowy Laces

The pale winter maid
Was crying all the night
Plaiting snowy laces in my lips.
My eyes are frozen lakes
My hair is forest paths
Crowned with icy wreath.

For I passed you'll cry for me
You think I'm dead but I am not
You tame my heart, you know it now
I'm for you in the morning dawn
Very soon you'll leave your grief
Although now you won't believe.

What I was before is not what I am now
Let the fire set my spirit free.
My name was sang by the wind but unheard it was gone.
I am near but you don't see.

For I passed you'll cry for me
You think I'm dead but I am not
You tame my heart, my thread is cut
I'm for you in the morning dawn
Very soon you'll leave your grief.
