Linger

It feels so warm when you are near
You are all I want to feel
Tell me now, is this for real?
It’s hard to breathe

We’re all lost in travel time,
cannot find my piece of mind
When the sun will rise again,
we’ll fly away

Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long, travel far
Someday

A summer breeze made all of the winters freeze
Autumn leaves
There’s no chance for spring’s romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it all anew
But chances are so few

Windows open up to life
Put your worries all aside
Sacred silence closes doors
for opened eyes

Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long, travel far
Someday
Away

A summer breeze makes all of the winters freeze
Autumn leaves
There’s no chance for spring’s romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it all anew
But chances are so few
And choices are so true

What do you think about this song?

In my opinion Linger stands out from other Epica's ballad-type songs; both musically and lyrically. I really love it, it's beautiful, yet very sad. And it's a song that just cannot be played in the background, I need to focus on it.

How could I have forgotten about it?*slaps herself*
I love this song,it's beautiful it's not a typical Epica song,it sounds more like a 'soundtrack-ballad' and the lyrics are very beautiful and touching.Simone's voice it's realy emotional here .

Agree.
Anyone knows who wrote the lyrics and music?

As I don't have The Road to Paradiso book yet I can't say but lyric-wise it sounds a lot like Simone's lyrics .But I'm not sure...

Yeah all sounds like Simone/Coen work. But I don't have the book as well. Hopefully one day I'll get to know it.
