Distant Shore - Nadia Birkenstock

It’s been seven weary nights

That my love has been gone

I’m beyond tears, beyond cries

Beyond weak and beyond strong

Forty days he lay asleeping

Fought a fight that wasn’t won

It’s been seven weary nights

That my love has been gone

And I cannot find rest

Thoughts torment me day and night

There was no time for embracing

For last words and for goodbye

Did he know how much I love him?

That he was my heart’s delight?

Thus I cannot find rest

Thoughts torment me day and night

I will wander to a far off place now

Do not cry and do no mourn

There’s a new path for me that awaits now

To reach a distant shore

In the seventh wary night

I had the strangest dream

I was walking by the seaside

On a ship I spotted him

I knew well that I was dreaming

And I saw him there so clear

In the seventh wary night

I had the stranges dream

We walked side by side

Down the shore a little while

And the answered all my qestions

Some with words, some with a smile

And his steps were light and graceful

Not a trace of his last trial

As we walked side by side

Down the shore a lite while

I will wander to a far off place now

Do not cry and do no mourn

There’s a new path for me that awaits now

To reach a distant shore

When I saw the dream was fading

In the sevent wary night

I pulled him to my heart

And embraced him for goodbye

«Yes I know how much you loved me

And you are my heart’s delight»

I woke up with the dawning

And my tears they had dried

I will wander to a far off place now

Do not cry and do no mourn

There’s a new path for me that awaits now

To reach a distant shore
