Past the hamlet The soft orphan gleans some scanty ears Her eyes graze roundly And golden in the dusk And her lap Waits for the heavenly groom
How sad this evening is
I'm a shadow Far away of sinister villages I drank God's silence Of the grove's well
As they returned The shepherds found her sweet body Decayed in the thorn bush Cold metal gets at my brow Spiders search for my heart It's a light switched off in my mouth
How sad this evening is
I'm a shadow Far away of sinister villages I drank God's silence Of the grove's well
I found myself on the heath at night Full of garbage and stardust Again clinked crystal angels
I'm a shadow Far away of sinister villages I drank God's silence Of the grove's well
