Lover, lover, goodbye |
|
So slowly goes the night |
|
I trace the print of your body with my hand |
|
Like the map of some forbidden land |
|
I trace the ghosts of your bones |
|
With my trembling hand |
|
Dark is my night |
|
But darker is my day yeah |
|
I must've been blind |
|
Out of my mind |
|
Not to read the warning signs |
|
How goes it? |
|
It goes lonely |
|
Goes slowly |
|
So slowly goes the night |
|
Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights |
|
I watch the moon get flayed anew |
|
Until the moom becomes the skinning tool |
|
I send the skins of my sins out to cover and comfort you |
|
I know of a heaven |
|
And honey i know of a hell yeah |
|
I hang my head |
|
In my bed |
|
And remember what you said |
|
"one evening, i'm leaving" |
|
And i laughed and checked her breathing |
|
And said darling |
|
Go slowly through the knight |
|
O baby, i feel the heal of time |
|
I wake to find you sitting here |
|
Cutting tangels out of your hair |
|
Singing a song that's all wrong |
|
Hey, but that's alright, i don't care |
|
O darling forgive me |
|
For all the misery yeah |
|
I embrace an empty space |
|
And your laughing song it fades |
|
Where goes it? |
|
It goes some place |
|
Where it's lonely |
|
And black as the night |
|
Come back, darling and put things right |
|
I hang my head and cry cry cry |
|
Darling, all night i try |
|
To cease on a reason for this mad mad season |
|
The nights, they are so long now |
|
I can't remember it being light |
|
Call it sleep, call it death, call it what you like |
|
But only sleep, dear |
|
Only sleep brings you back to life yeah |
|
I hang my head |
|
I toss and i sweat |
|
I never never can forget |
|
How goes it? |
|
I'm going, but slowly slowly going |
|
And we both know that it's gonna be alright |
|
But it ain't you who has to cry cry cry |
|
Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights |
|
Since you left my side side side |
