Those You've Known Lyrics

[MORITZ]
Those you've known
And lost still walk behind you
All alone
They linger till they find you
Without them
The world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same until you
Know that they have found you

[WENDLA]
Those you've pained
May carry that still with them
All the same
They whisper: ?All forgiven.?
Still your heart says
The shadows bring the starlight
And everything you've ever been is
Still there in the dark night

[WENDLA, MORITZ, AND MELCHIOR]
When the northern wind blows
[Though you know you've left them far behind]
The sorrows your heart holds
[You walk on by yourself and not with them]
There are those who still know
[Still you know they will fill your heart and mind]
They're still home
[When they say there's a way through this]
We're still home

[ALL THREE]
Those you've known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
Their song still seems to find you
They call you
As if you knew their longing
They whistle through the lonely wind
the long blue shadows falling

[MELCHIOR]
All alone
But still I hear their yearning
Through the dark, the moon,
Alone there, burning
The stars too
They tell of spring returning
And summer with another wind
That no one yet has known

[ALL THREE]
When the northern wind blows
[They call me through all things]
The sorrows your heart's known
[Night's falling but somehow I go on]
I believe...
[You watch me, just watch me- I'm calling from longing]

[MELCHIOR]
Now they'll walk on my arm through the distant night
And I won't let them stray from my heart
Through the wind, through the dark,
Through the winter light
I will read all their dreams to the stars

I'll walk now with them
I'll call on their names
I'll see their thoughts are known

Not gone
Not gone
They walk with my heart [not gone]
I'll never let them go [not gone]
I'll never let them go [not gone]
I'll never let them go
You watch me
Just watch me
I'm calling
I'm calling
And one day all will know
