Abel was brushing the snow off his parka while Micha was dancing around him, still balancing the plate of cookies, singing, 'We're staying, we're staying, we're staying overnight! We're drying! We're drying! We're drying on the line!

My child, I know you're not a childBut I still see you running wildBetween those flowering trees. Your sparkling dreams, your silver laughYour wishes to the stars above Are just my memories. And in your eyes the oceanAnd in your eyes the seaThe waters frozen overWith your longing to be free. Yesterday you'd awokenTo a world incredibly old. This is the age you are brokenOr turned into gold. You had to kill this child, I know. To break the arrows and the bowTo shed your skin and change. The trees are flowering no moreThere's blood upon the tiles floorThis place is dark and strange.I see you standing in the stormHolding the curse of youthEach of you with your storyEach of you with your truth. Some words will never be spokenSome stories will never be told. This is the age you are brokenOr turned into gold.I didn't say the world was good.I hoped by now you understoodWhy I could never lie.I didn't promise you a thing. Don't ask my wintervoice for springJust spread your wings and fly. Though in the hidden gardenDown by the green green laneThe plant of love grows next toThe tree of hate and pain. So take my tears as a token. They'll keep you warm in the cold. This is the age you are brokenOr turned into gold. You've lived too long among usTo leave without a traceYou've lived too short to understandA thing about this place. Some of you just sit there smokingAnd some are already sold. This is the age you are brokenOr turned into gold. This is the age you are broken or turned into gold.

There are fewer answers in the world than questions, and if you ask me now why that is so, I must tell you that there is no answer to that question.

Just a tiny little pain, Three days of heavy rain, Three days of sunlight, Everything will be alright, Just a tiny little pain.

The place in her, though, where her tears should have come from, was rough and dry. No, she didn't find any tears in herself to cry for the storyteller. The storyteller didn't exist anymore.

She had taught herself how to knit, and for the mare's scarf - it was green - she had given herself the best grade possible. And..''That's silly!' Micha giggled. 'Well, who is the cliff queen, you or me?' Abel asked. 'It isn't my fault if you're giving yourself grades!

And the snow that fell onto the roof in winter.. It fell softly.. Softly.. And it covered the house, the armchair, the books, the children's voices. It covered Anna and Abel, covered their parallel world, and everything was finally, very, very quiet.

The white noise from the old Walkman enveloped them both; like a blanket of new snow, it draped itself over them, shutting out all the curious looks. And the world under the blanket was - surprisingly, wonderfully - absolutely, quiet.
