Tanya was the fairest in the village down the lane

Red frill on a white sarafan her beauty plain

Evening strolls behind the fences near the old ravine

Moon hides and seeks with clouds in a misty sheen

A young man appeared bowed his curly head low

Farewell my joy he said I'm marrying another you know

Her face turned pale her warmth turned to dew

Her braid untwined like fate with a chilling view

Oh blue eyed lad you mean no offense yet

Tears betray the love that’s hard to forget

Heartbeats were stories woven through night

Now they unravel in the dim twilight

He walked away leaving shadows in his trail

Whispers of the past echoed a mournful wail

Dreams crumbled down like autumn leaves

Loneliness remains where hope deceives

Stars blink and blink in the silent sky

Questioning fate with a heavy sigh

There's a path of sorrow where we once danced

Lost in the echoes of a love mischanced

Winters rolled in dashed the carefree streams

Life moved on in fractured dreams

But Tanya's spirit warmed each cold day

With memories lingering in soft array

Stars blink and blink in the silent sky

Questioning fate with a heavy sigh

There's a path of sorrow where we once danced

Lost in the echoes of a love mischanced

Winters rolled in dashed the carefree streams

Life moved on in fractured dreams

But Tanya's spirit warmed each cold day

With memories lingering in soft array
