A Distant Flame Before The Sun lyrics

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/summoning/a_distant_flame_before_the_sun.html ]
I sit beside the fire and think
Of older times that were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at my door

On high above the mists I came
A distant flame before the sun
A wonder ere the waking dawn
Where grey the nordlands waters run
In elder days and years of yore
