Lyrics
“Krystal”
I found a fire screen to play on my computer
Also on my wall TV
Two candles as I sit and think about my day
One for you and the other for me
I see the old life that I lived long ago
In visions that come and go
Another life I’ve lived that I have come to know
As the echoing scenes are played
I know that old Jacob sits quietly too
As he sees this life replayed
But now I hear a new voice that I don’t know
See a strange face in the eyes of my mind
A Lady with kind eyes whose voice does flow
Over the rocks and pools in my mind
Jack Ripley Sir, you know me not
But fear not what I bring to you
Your Lady lies peaceful now under summer skies
And soon she will awake
She sends me now to bid you well
Now that your dream is awake
And this story that I’ve come to tell
Now that the first step you did take
We rise and fall and rise again
Not all but quite a few
We live, we love, we breathe and feel pain
As the story is lived anew
My name is Krystal and I’ve lived many times
And I will live many more
And so have you, time after time
Like waves crashing on the shore
So take what you’ve learned and pass it on
To any that can truly see
Look to the Evening Star and the bright dawn
And let your mind feel and see
As she fades, this day slips away
Another dream in my tired mind
But now I feel at peace, happy this day
From the words so gentle and kind
What will I seek and what will I find?
As this prophesy does unfold
Who else will I meet, deep in my dreams?
What there stories will be told?
It seems so clear now that I have seen
With my mind now fully awake
The story lives on of what has been
And steps I have yet to take
For now I will sleep and dream of love
So near yet do far away
And give thanks for a new voice
With more to find
As I end this day
