When Lilies Bloom on Winter Days... - Kari Rueslåtten, Magenta, Bratland

Mother, I feel so cold, she says and stares into the dark

I take hold of her hands

She`s burning like fire

I have seen the lilies bloom on a cold winter day

I have heard dead men speak

And wash their sins away

No more shall I fear the night

I have seen it all

I`d give away my heart and soul if only that could bring her back to life

She was fair, like light and day

She was my heart`s delight

She says no-one`s to blame

But indeed I blame myself
