To Edith - New Trolls

Thru' the long years

I saw tears

I found ecstasy

I found anguish

I found madness

I found loneliness

I found solitude in pain

That broke the heart

But peace I did not find

Now alone and near my end

I have known you

And knowing you

I have found what it is in peace

I know rest

I’ve got so many long years

I know what life and love may be

Now look if I sleep

I should free fulfill

Thru' the long years

I saw tears

I found ecstasy

I found anguish

I found madness

I found loneliness

But peace I did not find

I did not find

After so many lonely years

I know what life and love may be

Now if I’d live

I shall sleep fulfill

I shall sleep fulfill
