About

The thirteenth and final track from Nightwish’s sixth album, Dark Passion Play. It is about Tuomas' childhood and how much he misses it. He explains:

Seven-and-a-half minute ballad which has a gospel choir, a gospel solo and pipes. I knew from the beginning that it was going to be the album’s last...

Meadows of Heaven Lyrics

I close my eyes
The lantern dies
The scent of awakening
Wild honey and dew

Childhood games
Woods and lakes
Streams of silver
Toys of olden days

Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven

The flowers of wonder
And the hidden treasures
In the meadow of life
My acre of heaven

A 5-year-old winterheart
In a place called home
Sailing the waves of past

Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven

Rocking chair without a dreamer
A wooden swing without laughter
Sandbox without toy soldiers
Yuletide without the flight
Dream bound for life

Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden
Until I see the first star of fall

I fall asleep
And see it all
Mother's care
And color of the kites

Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven
Meadows of heaven
