In Mist She Was Standing Lyrics
Seven milestones...
Under a watching autumn eye
Contorted trees are spreading forth
The message of the wind
With frozen hands I rode with the stars
With anger the wind blew
Giving wings to my stallion
Clouds gathered across the moon
Blazing the white light
Passing the lake I know so well
I am near, yet so far away
Arrival...
I saw her shadow (standing) in the darkness
Awaiting me like the night
Awaits the day
Standing silent smiling at my presence
A black candle holds the only light
Darkness encloses
And the candle seem to expire
In her cold, cold hand
And as a forlorn soul
It will fade away
Touching her flesh in this night
My blood froze forever
Embraced before the dawn
A kiss brought total eclipse
And she spoke
Once and forever
I am so cold
In mist enrobed the twilight
She was standing...
Under a watching autumn eye
Contorted trees are spreading forth
The message of the wind
Giving wings to my stallion
Clouds gathered across the moon
Blazing the white light
I am near, yet so far away
I saw her shadow (standing) in the darkness
Awaiting me like the night
Awaits the day
Standing silent smiling at my presence
A black candle holds the only light
And the candle seem to expire
In her cold, cold hand
And as a forlorn soul
It will fade away
My blood froze forever
Embraced before the dawn
A kiss brought total eclipse
Once and forever
I am so cold
In mist enrobed the twilight
She was standing...

The most obvious lyrics of Opeth discography.
Tells the story of a man that rides a horse through the cold autumn. He's trying to travel the faster possible to meet her beloved one for the last time. She's dead and he gives her a last kiss before the funeral. As he kisses her he feels the coldness of her body. She possess him for the last time through that cold kiss.
I kinda feel like this song is about a couple who has waited forever to be together. Awaiting each other forever, and one of them waits then something stands in the way longing for the day when they can finally cross paths again. Living in different cities or having other relationships, or obstacles in their lives and visiting each other as friends and never really getting to be together.
