West of the valley you left Guided by stars and the wind Led by a volley of birds You reach home with nothing Each moment sleeps, left behind The last person who saw you was kind She said, â??look to your flesh you seem cold Take me before we get oldâ? The dreams that you had are forgotten A diary left under a bed And the light slanted in from the curtains All the things written in there are dead Approaching the last moments pass And next comes the place you began Your face is a dark map of worries But you smile as you start to run Drop your pack, drop your dial And just fall for a while And when you hit dirt you feel nothing Sweep the floor now and take down the curtain Let the light flood into the house Open the doors, let the wind blow Let all those dead hours stumble out SongtexteWatch as they run towards the sea Until they diminish to nothing Make your way up to the bedroom Let the pillow collapse round your head Sing the lullaby about when we were living And sing the one about when we'll be dead Sleep a sleep without dreams for ten hours And wake up as heavy as lead And all of what weight is nothing Aus Songtexte Mania
