Lyrics
How Long.....?
Daylight's rolling in
Like a blemished star
With its twinkle tucked away
In a dark valley
Where its aroma
Once fluttered in the wind
Like a fancy feather
Where its mist
Once rippled in the sky
Like swirling satin
Now look how its freshness wanes-
Lulled to sleep
By the wails of the wolves
As they restlessly roam
Through barren forests
Once rich with the bounty of nature
How long will the sun
Blaze through the billowing clouds
Tarnished from human wear?
How long will the murmuring brook
Chase the glimmer of the sun's light
Into the dawn?
