days in a row
I had almost missed the show
I have many ways to go
I am bouncing to and fro
night‘s closing down
I am sleeping with a frown
on the land I seem to drown
I am a king, where is my crown?
what, what would you bring about?
is it poison, is it beauty,
is it pain?
what, what would you bring about?
so I rearrange my mind
sorting sense of an ancient kind
would it be helpful to be blind
to detect the language
of the rain
did you get it right
or did I get you wrong?
who sold my intimacy
and who betrayed my song?
who was in my heart
when love was close at hand
when nothing was the matter
and matter had an end?
what is on the shelf
within the pages of our friends
within the perfume of the past
within the letters noone sends
what‘s between the sheets
when all the talk has ceased to sighs
when all the clouds have heard their names
when all the birds have told their lies
please play me your song
because I have to get along
sometimes desire is too strong
I‘m so afraid you‘d get me wrong
please sigh me a sigh
because the waves are running high
within the sins I do deny
among the mercy going by
