Through the Night - lyrics
Old man, I have seen your hands They steady one another In you lies a great king whose pride Is weeping like a wound Oh, that mighty fall changed the season Oh, you are fading everyday And I have come to be with you Old man, I clean your hands I hold them underwater You confide that in dreams you fly Where no one has ever been Through the night I wander I leave you when you’re sleeping It is alright if you wake up And do not quite remember the world You do not remember the room you are in I find you sweating and cold and thin And I have come to be with you Old man, I have walked your land Been one end to the other While you, inside, remain death-defied Your body like a tomb Through the night I wander I leave you when you are sleeping It is alright if you wake up And do not quite remember the world You do not remember the one you have been Who are these figures that hem you in The night has come to be with you Through the night I wander I leave you when you are sleeping It is alright if you wake up And do not quite remember the world |
