Leon Somov - Phantoms of the lake

When I'm away

I'm still here

Whispering your own poems

To your ear.

And when I'm gone

You feel me near

You let the night pass

As you begin to count the stars

I told you once or twice-

Nothing can last forever.

Open up your eyes,see-

Nothing can last forever.

And can you feel?

Your body's wet to dry..

This autumn will end

Can you hear my lullaby?

And can you see

The phantoms of the lake?

Slow agonies

I can find no peace
