| There will be a time
|
| There will be a life
|
| When I’ll find your good soul again
|
| Now death will take mine
|
| But you’ll be my wife
|
| When we’ll meet one far day again
|
| I remember this scene
|
| On a sunny winter’s day
|
| So cold, but we’ve been outside
|
| Little brats we’ve been
|
| With miserable pay
|
| So often no bread to bite
|
| I remember it too
|
| We stood at a shack
|
| The shack built on stilts was our home, our home
|
| I felt ice cold winds blow
|
| And heard someone clack
|
| So we crawled 'neath floor planks on all frozen loam
|
| There will be a time
|
| There will be a life
|
| When I’ll find your good soul again
|
| Now death will take mine
|
| But you’ll be my wife
|
| When we’ll meet one far day again
|
| I spied through a crack
|
| Of the oaken wood floor planks
|
| And saw a worn woman walk
|
| Maybe she’s my mother
|
| Or maybe someone else
|
| No memory exceeds this stalk
|
| This is my memory too
|
| From under those planks
|
| Our stepmother could have been seen, has been seen
|
| By the orphans we’ve been
|
| My memory has blanks
|
| However, our love was virgin and clean
|
| There will be a time
|
| There will be a life
|
| When I’ll find your good soul again
|
| Now death will take mine
|
| But you’ll be my wife
|
| When we’ll meet one far day again
|
| We had to drudge hard
|
| In this former life
|
| You had to dig deep in the mine, in the mine
|
| The next morning, they said
|
| That you will not come back
|
| The tunnel caved in, was certainly thine
|
| In darkness I’m dreaming
|
| And I dream of yesterday
|
| Forever, I’ll fall asleep
|
| And my soul will echo
|
| This message out to you
|
| The last thing I need to keep
|
| There will be a time
|
| There will be a life
|
| When I’ll find your good soul again
|
| Now death will take mine
|
| But you’ll be my wife
|
| When we’ll meet one far day again
|
| There will be a time
|
| There will be a life
|
| When I’ll find your good soul again
|
| Now death will take mine
|
| But you’ll be my wife
|
| When we’ll meet one far day again |
