유미 - 사랑은 언제나 목마르다

The Wooden Wife is based around a Ukrainian folk tale. It's a ghostly tale about 'letting go'. Here are the lyrics:

The Wooden Wife 
VERSE 1
Come, hear a tale of man and wife,
who loved each other very well.
The man, much skilled with whittling knife,
carved toys which they would sometimes sell.
And both could stalk the forest game.
As hunters, they were much the same.
And love lit up their hearth and hame.
This is the story that I tell.
VERSE 2
They hunted, often, side by side—
with bow and snares. Their steps were strong.
but deer tracks led them far and wide.
Once she stayed home when trails grew long.
He trekked alone through sleet and snow,
but game escaped his traps and bow.
He neither brought down buck or doe.
Without his wife, the hunt seemed wrong.
BRIDGE 1
When he returned she was  in bed;
a fever hot behind her eyes.
She kissed his hand. “Hunt on!,” she said.
Her breath grew faint; her words were sighs.
He wept and sat with her all night.
By dawn, her soul had taken flight.
He knew that she had lost the fight.
No neighbours came to sympathize.
VERSE 4
He carved her likeness out of pine,
and clothed the doll in her old dress.
He propped her in a fireplace shrine:
a mute companion, motionless.
Each night he brushed her ashen face,
and whispered words to empty space.
He called her soul, by Heaven's grace.
Though he was lost and powerless.
BRIDGE 2
A year of living with the pain:
a year of hunting on his own.
He struggled on through snow and rain,
He had no friends. He lived alone.
One night he found the fire’d been lit;
a deer was turning on the spit.
She had returned, alive and fit.
She had returned, from parts unknown.
VERSE 6
He watched her carry wood and sweep;
her garment was a ghostly white.
“We cannot touch,” she said, “or sleep
until we share the firelight
of kinsfolk, who must swear I’m here.”
He nodded, though he shed a tear.
He prayed she would not disappear.
He dared not draw her close at night.
 
VERSE 7
They walked through snow, six days or more,
towards her village – kith and kin.
And they were frozen to the core,
wrapped round in furs and cold as sin.
At night he broke and held her fast—
her voice cried out. The moment passed.
He felt a chilling north wind blast. 
And held a pinewood mannequin. 
VERSE 8
Then he ran wild and told his tale.
They followed him and saw his grief.
Two sets of tracks wound down the vale—
and one set beggared all belief.
Beside cold ash his doll lay prone,
its body hard as any stone.
He knew that he must live alone.
He mourned her but found no relief.
VERSE 9
And some who heard it marked the tale.
They warned young men of love too wild:
“Beware of touch beyond the veil:
the vanished face, the phantom child.
Let mem’ry be, what it must be.
The soul that won’t let souls be free,
is lost upon an endless sea,
to find that it has been beguiled.”

정재욱 - 가만히 눈을 감고

어떤말을 해야하는지 난 너무 가슴이 떨려서
우리 옛날 그대로의 모습으로 만나고 있네요

이건 꿈인 걸 알지만 지금 이대로 깨지않고서
영원히 잠 잘 수 있다면 

날 안아주네요 예전 모습처럼 
그 동안 힘들었진 나를 보며 위로하네요 
내 손을 잡네요 지친 맘 쉬라며 
지금도 그대손이 그때처럼 따뜻하네요 

혹시 이게 꿈이란 걸 
그대가 알게 하진 않을꺼야 
내가 정말 잘할꺼야 그대 다른 생각 못하도록

그대 이젠 가지마요 
그냥 여기서 나와 있어줘요 
나도 깨지 않을께요 이젠 보내지 않을거예요

계속 나를 안아주세요 예전 모습처럼 
그동안 힘들었지 나를 보며 위로하네요 
내 손을 잡네요 지친맘 이젠 쉬라며 
지금도 그대 손은 그때처럼 따뜻하네요 
대답해줘요 그대도 나를 나만큼 그리워했다고

바보같이 즐거워만하는 날 보며 (날 보며) 
안쓰런 미소로 (슬픈 미소로) 
이제 나 먼저갈께 미안한 듯 얘길하네요 

나처럼 그대도 (그대도) 
알고 있었군요 (꿈이라는 걸) 
그래도 고마워요 이렇게 라도 만나줘서 

날 안아주네요 작별인사라며 
나 웃어줄께요 이렇게 보내긴 싫은데 
뒤돌아 서내요 다시 그 때처럼 

나 잠 깨고 나면 또 다시 혼자있겠네요 
저 멀리 가네요 이젠 익숙하죠 나 이제 울게요 
또 다시 보내기 싫은데 보이지 않아요  

이제 다시 눈을 떴는데 가슴이 많이 시리네요 
고마워요 사랑해요 
난 괜찮아요 다신 오지 말아요 - 

유미 - 사랑은 언제나 목마르다
