Sonata Arctica - Whirlwind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking by my side
She leaned her head against my shoulder
Hand in hand the streets were even
Soon that day was over
The first day of the fall
I know there was no plan for us
But somehow it is easy to believe
A good thing will go on

[Pre-Chorus]
Broken but alive
Missing a few pieces, I know
My remedy is time
But now I need a new hope to break this fall

[Chorus]
I saw you stand on the pier one night
Drying teardrops in the wind
Walking away in the dark, leaving everything
Now you're gone and the leaves of fall
Are dancing in the whirlwind

[Verse 2]
Like so many times
The way we seem to learn is to repeat and fall again
But will the falling make us stronger?
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the stars and moon
Hiding in the darkness waiting
Mountain, please, come closer

[Pre-Chorus]
I am still alive
Missing a few pieces, I know
My remedy is time
But now I need a new hope to break this fall

[Chorus]
I saw her stand on the pier one night
Drying teardrops in the wind
Walking away in the dark, leaving everything
Now she's gone, and the leaves of fall
Are dancing in the whirlwind

[Bridge]
Now she's gone and the fallen leaves
Are dancing in the wind

[Pre-Chorus]
I am still alive
Missing a few pieces, I know
My remedy, my time
But now I need a new hope to break this fall

[Chorus]
I saw her stand on the pier one night
Drying teardrops in the wind
Walking away in the dark, leaving everything
Now she's gone, and the fallen leaves
Are dancing in the whirlwind
I stand in the whirlwind
Life must deal me a better hand
Standing tall and the leaves of fall
Are dancing in the whirlwind

[Post-Chorus]
Leaves still falling, time alone
Under the darkened skies
The whirlwind of night
The fallen leaves still dance alone
After the moon has gone
When the whirlwind is gone

[Outro]
Winter's vale, the leaves are gone
I see the snowflakes on the fields
Soon slowly dancing in the whirlwind
Spring, new life as winter's gone
I see the new leaves on the tree
Soon they are dancing with the whirlwind
