Away My Silent Lover
I just wanted to be so much better than me But I lost the talisman so I could not be free And the ladies they watch as I sneer through my scarves And I smirk mischievously And imagine they had the hearts Then I got up and left And I turned a corner right Though I could not keep my rent There were shadows in my sights As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park But I did not become afraid When I heard he dogs starts to bark It might have been cold or warm But I did not seem to care I was waving my arms in the aeromatic air Then I fell to the ground SongtexteBut I heard a million sounds There were whistles there were bells There were screams and exploding shells I found teeth marks in my thigh And I started to cry no longer wanted to try But I did not ask why Then your hollow, hollow face Was emerging from the willow trees Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease And away my silent lover You're just changing with the grass Oh so slowly you float Oh so so gracefully you pass And I do not see you smile You don't talk, you don't laugh You're the Shepard of my sheep The keeper of my golden calf And your love is truly true Mysterious, handsome too In the wind and in the rain Never had to be pursued When I'm cold and in the gutter I simply shut my eyes so tight Sitting warm it makes me shudder And I soon feel alright And away my silent lover One day will shall be together There will remain no contemplation No more schemes or endeavors When my heart disintegrates And my voice is no more We'll eternally be mates From the horizon to the shore But for now it's all nostalgia You're a cinematic spector Cast your image from the blinds By the glow of the old projector And away my silent lover And away my silent lover (Thanks to James alquitela for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
