Old Man (Väinämöinen) Lyrics

So much farther off than time could reach
Today it would be too late
So much despair he has bled
But will he wither away?No one knows that you must keep
This old man wide awake
'Cause no one knows that he could feed
Our lives with brighter flameHush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be releasedSweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did
Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he didHush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be releasedThe stars fell from the night sky
As he reached his hands in the airAs the sun peeked between the trees
The old man burst to tearsSweeter far than life I found that love was

Sweeter far than love to die as he did
