There is a light that you have inside It hides in your mouth and behind your eyes It's gold and it's white, it's right as the sky And out through your mouth, it leaks when you die Out through your mouth and into the night You hover between the earth and the sky And what now is yours, someday will be mine My father, my son, arranged in a line You were my eyes when I was struck blind And you were my mouth when I could not cry But you'll hold my hand when I lie And I will hold yours when it's my time There is a song you hear when you die The clapping of hands or voices on high But out of the dark your voice will arive So close to my ear, my old lover sighs The darkness you'll find will come like a tide You seperate from pain and all that can bind you And you won't have ears and you won't have eyes And nor will you want for whiskey or wine And I have a name, a place and a time More solid than stone and stronger than vine The week as a word is my body alined And thin as the air I'll be when I die Aus Songtexte Mania
