作词 : Mikael Åkerfeldt 作曲 : Mikael Åkerfeldt Empty house, and empty pockets There's an echo in the hall I keep your picture in a locket In the past, we had it all But the Summer fades away Rainy day tomorrow In the company of dawning In the presence of a friend I was subject to a wanting And unable to ascend So I opened up my gate It's too late to wonder "Det är bara en ny dag, inget särskilt har hänt" Once there was a moment Time was on my side Rust and silk bestowment Balanced on my pride You are moving away from home Escaping the monochrome One after another Striding along the road Past the crest, you will be free Laid to rest now, let it be Honest promise to a degree The edge too sharp for guarantees Once there was a moment Time was on my side Rust and silk bestowment Balanced on my pride A part of our past is still there Underneath your shoes The memory's stuck in your chest The idle truth is up to you The river of time flows on Blind and ruthless Life is so fragile, I know And even if I heard A yearning voice in your heart Old routines always kept us apart The river of time flows on Blind and ruthless The river of time flows on Blind and ruthless The river of time flows on Blind and ruthless The river of time flows on Blind and ruthless
