The moon haunts the skyways as the year wheel must fly,
For time is a piper, but the tune passes me by.
Night-time seems forever; I don't see the sun shine.
My life is a river that runs sweet ruby wine.
Drink deep the ruby wine;
Your soul is bound with mine.
We'll share eternity.
I saw you long ago;
I don't remember when,
But you'll return again.
The years pass so slowly, but my patience is long.
I temper my waiting with night's sweet savage song.
But the mortals I've taken to lie by my side
Are no match for your beauty. In dreams our love abides...
Drink deep the ruby wine;
Your soul is bound with mine.
We'll share eternity.
I saw you long ago;
I don't remember when,
But you'll return again.
Time twists in turning as the star wheel goes 'round,
'Til fate heals my yearning. At last — my love is found!
And the years of my waiting, they're all lost in you,
The touch and the tasting of life once more renewed.
Drink deep the ruby wine;
Your soul is bound with mine.
We'll share eternity.
I saw you long ago;
I don't remember when,
But you'll return again.
