Chestnut Tree (If I Had Only One Day) (rare version)
Chestnut Tree (If I Had Only One Day)
If I had only one day to pay and to say All the words that may hold us away The sly dismay leads you astray I’d paint the thoughts of grey If I had just one day
None of us could reach the stars Nor the fate did cherish us Cupid's tear brakes into the rose-leaves Squeezed out of the ether tightens my sleeves
Hasty glances sting like a dozen of whips Beg you to keep this new-moon on your lips Eclipse - the betrayal of old days and new Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you …
If I had only one day to pay and to say All the words that may hold us away Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me
Both of us were scorched by the stars And tried to forget those uttering scars Keep pretending but don’t turn your wingless back Coming off my finger-tips are gliding on your neck
When they come for you will you pass me through? When they come for me what am I to do? The fetid rock-teeth are grinding my knee Under the spreading chestnut tree You sold me…
We dance our ways on the edge of a saw Gently touching each other on the raw The spark we enshroud still clings to its ray If I had a break in the clouds, if I had only one day…
If I had only one day to pay and to say All the words that may hold us away The sly dismay leads you astray I’d paint the thoughts of grey And bring the May Devil’s wedding of the three We’d crumbled to dust and ceased to be Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me
Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me…
