lyrics
[Verse]
The ink spills dark on paper's face
A world unfolds
A boundless space
Cold winds whisper through the birch trees tall
Their silver bark has seen it all
[Chorus]
Oh Russian soul so deep so wide
Where love and grief and dreams collide
A tear a laugh a thousand sighs
In Russian books the truth resides
[Verse 2]
A samovar hums a mournful tune
Under the glow of a pale-faced moon
Frost bites the air yet hearts stay warm
In every storm a hidden charm
[Bridge]
Pages turn like leaves in fall
Each story echoes one and all
To live to suffer to yearn to fight
In every line there's endless night
[Chorus]
Oh Russian soul so deep so wide
Where love and grief and dreams collide
A tear a laugh a thousand sighs
In Russian books the truth resides
