Branches
Lunae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coarse fall, another season
Leaves are falling like dreams without a reason
Sadness inside me
Falling stories like leaves on the branches
Where were you looking?
Where were you looking?
I remember I was dreaming of you
I'm still standing here, I'm dreaming
I don't want to sever
The bindings that are tying my hands
Branches

Coarse fall, another season
My days are dying with my soul without reason
Darkness inside me
Heavy on my story like the sun you divour
How do you see me?
How do you see me?
I remember I was dreaming of you
I still see you in my dreams and
I want to behold you
Once a shadow, still a shadow
Branches

Moving you I see tomorrow
Free from this sorrow
And I lift the shadow from vain memories
Your heart is empty




My heart is empty
New flowers blossom on the branches
