The scent is pungent

Ripe earth and sea

Yet the last remaining leaves

Still cling to trees

Hold like this forever

Fair, dearest fall

Dawn frozen, drunk with colour

Open not the winter’s ...door...

Hold like this forever

Hold like this forever

And how the wind will carry

Our parting words

Ash over the waters low

Petals slowly drawing down

And how the wind will carry

Our parting words

Ash over the waters low

Petals slowly drawing down

We’ve seen your light

You’ll ride the dawn

We’ve seen your light

You’ll ride the dawn

Hold like this forever

The scent is pungent

Ripe earth and sea

And the final leaves

...Still cling to trees...

And how the wind will carry

Our parting words

Ash over the waters low

Petals slowly drawing down

And how the wind will carry

Our parting words

Ash over the waters low

Petals slowly drawing down

Rautaisen aallonharjalla

Ratsastaa marraskuun lapsi

Kuun valkea ruoto pirstaloituu kiviin

Syksyn sydän ei enää lyö

(Syksyn sydän ei enää lyö)

Luoteesta käy kavala tuuli

Tahdon päällä järkkymätön vapaus

[Epitaph, by C. Jyrakoski]
