///***/// [Intro - Lonely low whistle, distant wind, soft harp] [Slow mournful Highland melody] [Deep cello enters beneath the whistle] [Long instrumental opening] [Verse One - Solitary female alto, tender and sorrowful] May You see....the climbing star.. when winter falls down. [Long pause, single bowed fiddle] May You see the rising tree as the leaves fall down the breeze. (⏳) Where the ancient waters sleep, Where the roots of heaven reach so deep. [Chorus - Strings slowly rise, voice becomes more open] My heart cant know. How my soul holy grows (∞) Oh, carry me... Beyond the fading light. Oh, carry me... Through the endless night. [Low whistle answers the final vocal melody] [Strings fade to a single sustained note] [Verse Two - Intimate vocal, gentle harp and cello] There is a place beyond the rain, Where fallen stars shall rise again. (❖) And every leaf that leaves the tree, Returns to earth eternally. The mountains sleep. The rivers know. (⏳) The things we lose... Are not all gone. [Chorus - Warm strings and distant wordless male harmonies] My heart cant know. How my soul holy grows Oh, carry me... Beyond the fading light. (∞) Oh, carry me... Through the endless night. [Instrumental - Solo mournful uilleann pipes] [Long expressive pipe melody over swelling strings] [Delicate fiddle answers the pipes] [One distant heartbeat-like frame drum] [Bridge - All instruments fall away, solitary voice] (⊖) If every star should cease to shine, If every road should fade with time... Beneath the earth, Beyond the snow... (⏳) A silent light... Will always grow. [Moment of complete silence] [Final Chorus - Emotionally soaring female lead, broad strings, distant choir] My heart cant know. How my soul holy grows (⊕) Oh, carry me... Beyond the fading light. Oh, carry me... Through the endless night. (∞) May you see... May you see... The light... That never dies. [Outro - Female voice alone, distant Highland pipe] May you see... (∨) May you see... [Long mournful whistle melody] [Soft strings slowly disappear] [Final solitary harp note]
