Lyrics Today, The Sea (Anja's Song) - Thränenkind

Today, The Sea (Anja's Song)

You are not wrong, who deem, that my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away in a night, or in a day
In a vision, or in none, is it therefore the less gone?
All I ever had just fades away, the only memory left, is of our special day
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few!
Yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep… while I weep!
My dear!
Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
My dear!
Can I not save
One from the pitiless waves?
But the only one I really need to save
While struggling with the ruthless waves
From drowning in these endless shores
Is this one important grain of yours
