Lyrics

Warrior, would you give him what is mine

Warrior, a plea to share what belongs to the speaker

Future, bring him back the stars that shine

Asking the future to bring back lost brilliance and hope

The colder, days remind him of what is gone

Reflecting on colder days, a reminder of past losses

Oh warrior, show the picture that was drawn

Request for the warrior to reveal a shared vision


He could feel the ghosts on the hillside

Sensing spectral presences on a hillside

As the earth turned cold

Observing the world becoming colder

And he could see the color in darkness

Acknowledging colors in darkness as night unfolds

When the night unfolds


Out there where the time run slow

Describing a place where time moves slowly

Where he lost it long ago

Indicating a location of a past loss

Still he waited for you all along

Waiting patiently for someone, persisting in hope

Waiting for his love to come home

Anticipating the return of a lost love

There waiting for his love

Continuing to wait for the return of love


Lover, all the joy that spring to mind

Calling out to a lover, mentioning joyful memories

Wonder, why he left it all behind

Questioning the abandonment of these joyful memories


He could feel the ghosts on the hillside

Sensing ghosts again, possibly symbolic of haunting memories

As the earth turned cold

Reiterating the earth turning cold, emphasizing loss

And he would light a torch in the darkness

Symbolic act of lighting a torch in the darkness

Burn to guide him home

Burning the torch as a guide to find the way home


Out there where the time run slow

Where he lost it long ago

Revisiting a place where time moves slowly

Still he waited for you all along

Continued patience in waiting for a loved one

Waiting for his love to come home

Repeating the anticipation of a loved one's return

There waiting for his love

Reiterating the ongoing wait for love to come back


Waiting for his love to come home

Repeating the longing for a loved one to come home

There waiting for his love

Continuing to wait for the return of his love
