about

This song is inspired by a romantic painting with nymphs taking a bath in a pool in the woods.

lyrics

silvery waters breathe purity
nymphs dance 'round their goddess
winged words of peace and serenity
silken veils
tenderness
the swans bear

lutanist your beautiful tears
create the stream of life
the silent wish
of the nymph's here
may your echo arrive
everywhere
