Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I stand in a land of roses,
But I dream of a land of snow,
Where you and I were happy In the years of long ago.
Nightingales in the branches,
Stars in the magic skies,
But I only hear you singing,
I only see your eyes.
Come! Come! Come to me, Thora,
Come once again and be
Child of my dream, light of my life,
Angel of love to me!
[Verse 2]
I stand again in the North land,
But in silence and in shame;
Your grave is my only landmark,
And men have forgotten my name.
‘Tis a take that is truer and older
Than any the sagas tell,
I loved you in life too little,
I love you in death too well!
Speak! Speak! Speak to me, Thora
Speak from your Heaven to me;
Child of my dream, love of my life,
Hope of my world to be!
