Island in the sky

Людвиг Штраубе
When clouds forth hide all efforts
Amongst the dismal days
With equal gap for every step
You're losing what you chase

When autumn grey forever stay
Inside your broken thoughts
Go after shine of silver line
Which brightens mountain tops

          You see an island in the sky
          Light blend of white and blue
          Your dream feels closer to your eyes
          In world, where angels flew

          Find countless ways that you can ride
          While wishes getting keen
          From here and till another side
          Of heaven washed by wind

So make your wings from needless things
And fasten it with ash
Of deepest grief and golden leaf -
Enjoy a smoke and smash

When dawn will frown and bugle song
Resound above the vale
Step over past, throw off your rust
And heaven will prevail

          You see an island in the sky
          Light blend of white and blue
          Your dream feels closer to your eyes
          In world, where angels flew

          You see the shape of windy shrine
          Awaiting for the storm
          Our hands will meet despite of time
          In world, where angels born
