You Were There (ICO Theme Song) Lyrics

The island bathes in the sun's bright rays Distant hills wear a shroud of grey A lonely breeze whispers in the trees Sole witness to history Fleeting memories rise From the shadows of my mind Sing "nonomori" - endless corridors Say "nonomori" - hopeless warriors You were there You were there Am I forever dreaming How to define the way I'm feeling You were there Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep You were there Though forgotten all promises we keep Slaves to our destiny I recall a melody Sing "nonomori" - seasons lit with gold Say "nonomori" - legends yet untold You were there You were there Happiness follows sorrow Only believing in tomorrow You were there Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep You were there Though forgotten all promises we keep The island bathes in the sun's bright rays Distant hills wear a shroud of grey A lonely breeze whispers in the trees Sole key to this mystery
