For the Autumn passes
Soon away.
Chilling winds are blowing.
It will soon be snowing.”

I drift away -
I can hear you calling,
and my name
is in the rain,
leaves on trees whispering,
deep blue sea's mysteries.”

It is painted on the sky
And trembles like the wind-shook rain
When the Raven King passed by”
