Memoir Sonata - Memoir Sonata

Moonlight's sweet tune
Here I wander, as time goes by
Look in my eyes
There's nothing, can't tell you why
Like sand
Crumbling through my hands
My life
Can't forget the past
Time seems to fade
And the tide is on its way
Your absence
Would I suffer another day
A withered tree, bent with sorrow and pain
Through a muse's kiss, strength finds me again
Yet I cannot leave, so much more to give
A new melody calls me to live
My memoir
A sonata for my home
Goodbye Vienna
Goodbye forevermore
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
Old and weak and my end is near
But my muse is singing as I disappear
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
One last score before I disappear
My end is near
Cursed by disease
Drops of sleep take my pain
I fall to my knees, alone
Don't you cry when you find out,
that soon I will be gone
My work is done, time to move on
After all those years
My love endures,
Words, amount to none at all
My soul i have immured behind a wall
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
Old and weak and my end is near
But my muse is singing as I disappear
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
One last score before I disappear
My end is near
"Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or
misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me.
You do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you.
I would have ended my life - It was only my art that held me back.
It seemed impossible to leave the world until I had brought forth all,
all that I felt was within me."*
All the worlds, I could unseal
To tell her what I feel
In one last score
Deaf and torn but still I hear
the sweetest music playing in my ear
Old and weak and my end is near
But my muse is singing as I disappear
Deaf and torn but still I hear
The sweetest music playing in my ear
One last score before I disappear
My end is near
All the worlds, I could unseal
To tell her what I feel
In one last score
My end is here
