Memoir Sonata Lyrics

Moonlight's sweet tune

Here I wander, as time goes by

Look in my eyes

There's nothing, can't tell you why

Like sand

Crumbling through my hands

My life

Can't forget the past

Time seems to fade

And the tide is on its way

Your absence

Would I suffer another day

A withered tree, bent with sorrow and pain

Through a muse's kiss, strength finds me again

Yet I cannot leave, so much more to give

A new melody calls me to live

My memoir

A sonata for my home

Goodbye Vienna

Goodbye forevermore

Deaf and torn but still I hear

The sweetest music playing in my ear

Old and weak and my end is near

But my muse is singing as I disappear

Deaf and torn but still I hear

The sweetest music playing in my ear

One last score before I disappear

My end is near

Cursed by disease

Drops of sleep take my pain

I fall to my knees, alone

Don't you cry when you find out,

that soon I will be gone

My work is done, time to move on

After all those years

My love endures,

Words, amount to none at all

My soul i have immured behind a wall

Deaf and torn but still I hear

The sweetest music playing in my ear

Old and weak and my end is near

But my muse is singing as I disappear

Deaf and torn but still I hear

The sweetest music playing in my ear

One last score before I disappear

My end is near

"Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or

misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me.

You do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you.

I would have ended my life - It was only my art that held me back.

It seemed impossible to leave the world until I had brought forth all,

all that I felt was within me."*

All the worlds, I could unseal

To tell her what I feel

In one last score

Deaf and torn but still I hear

the sweetest music playing in my ear

Old and weak and my end is near

But my muse is singing as I disappear

Deaf and torn but still I hear

The sweetest music playing in my ear

One last score before I disappear

My end is near

All the worlds, I could unseal

To tell her what I feel

In one last score

My end is here
