Dreamed I Saw Soldiers
Climbed out the window and stared at the stars, but the moment I wanted had already passed Lost in the silence, blessed by the night, dreamed I saw soldiers; they were all dressed in white, all dressed in white Well, the summer came late, so I slept here for days 'til Winter was over and my heart could be saved I walked for a lifetime and I climbed in a hole She had breasts on the outside, she had breath in her soul Death in her soul Placed in a bottle and flung out to sea, I was stung by the thought that the ship was now me Lost in the silence, blessed by the night, I dreamed I saw soldiers; they were all dressed in white, all dressed in white A fellow by nature, I fell for a way that would shake me all over and spin me around Twisted my feelings 'til I nearly drowned It was love at first sight the first time around, time around We stared at the walls 'til we lost all the dawn Waiting for words, I said, "I've been cursed by your love." SongtexteCrying for shame So what has become of our love? Of our love? Now all the neighbors have stolen my stash I write poems about death; I ain't finished one yet Lost in the silence, blessed by the night, I dreamed I saw soldiers; they were all dressed in white, all dressed in white Aus Songtexte Mania
