Farewell, oh farewell   Sweet dancers in the wind   I see you are prepared to come with me   The long way home again      Farewell, my beloved   (Farewell to you)   I whisper to a fading flower   (I greet your embrace)   There's so much life in dying   After all this time you can go to sleep   (After all this time that passed   I can go to sleep)      This well-known melody   Rises up above the orphaned trees   Rejoining the restless wind   Bequeath scarlet rain to hunted leaves      Through this decay, you can see her   How she wanders   How she cries silent tears   Midnight's coming all too soon   And she has to end what she's begun      Come near come near to me   I know you are frightened   And I can't keep you safe   But see there's nothing holding you anymore   So please, don't insist on the waste      And now I see your eyes   (I'm waiting for you)   Your broken beauty is my guide   (I welcome your kiss)   There's so much life in dying   Take my hand,   Rest your head and seek relief   (I've saved my life for you,   Oh come near, let me seek relief)      Hope in her hair   And her fingers borrow pity out of your heart   Her eyes are staring right through you   And you can see yourself in them      Sweet dancers   There is nothing holding you anymore   Please come with me, my dear      Now autumn's tears begin to freeze   And I'm willing to leave again
