Anna sits beside her research Silence in the dappled moonlight Sleeping cat and dying fire Embers of the past conspire All her books are closed and scatters And she feels that nothing matters to her Outside this dream her sister frequents Like a cobweb catching fragments She approaches like a vision She says "Anna, do you hear me?" But the picture's always shuttered All the distant thoughts that flutter to her I can see them all, I can hear them call And as she falls I lean to say good-bye Breathing all the wasted hours Talking to the dying flowers Dwarfed by spires and tangled towers We don't ask the reason why Anna comes and goes in shadows Paintings of the open windows Her photograph is always faded Her sister's eyes are blank and shaded Don't you understand her science SongtexteMerging in a strange alliance to her We're together in the future You and I and her together All our fates are intermingled We are plural, we are single We are leaving for a meeting And last seen the weather sleeting for her Aus Songtexte Mania
