lake of tears - the four strings of mourning lyrics

some tales say morrow knows, i know not why they say so,
some go where sorrow goes, i know not
where they do go

one comes with winter's wind to tell a tale of mourning,
one free as summer's sin, to tell
a tale of mourning

spinning around in circles every day,
spinning around and finding no new way
spinning around, spinning around they say,
i wish them all dead anyway

so sing the poets then, i know not why they sing so,
so go they sorrow's friends, i know not
where they do go

one comes with autumn's rain and sings a song of mourning,
one sets the spring aflame
and sings a song of mourning

spnning around in circles every day, spinning around and finding no new way
spinning around, spinning around they say, i wish they all could go away
