The Hermit's Song

from Interim by The Soundrops

/

lyrics

darkness in the city in my heart
hardly brightened by electric smiles
ten-string zither music sadly lost
in the empty feel machine dull chord

couldn`t find myself in neon rain
shines-and-doesn`t-shine let`s buy a chair
couldn`t fell the walls I couldn`t climb
with the painted heart there I can`t find

here I`ve got no one to embrace
no one`s way across my narrow way
wooden whispers green lullabies
in this kingdom of the slower pace of time

you choke you choke
in rainbows of smoke

sundrops percolating down through leaves
pinch the mossy pillows till clear nights
stars above the clearings show still higher
to the great creator of allkind

you stray you stray
through meadows of grey

silence deepens all the way inside
I will know the way to face the loud
heartvest ripe in harmony with here
I will know the way to face back there

there to the early glow
away from my counting trunks of oaks
much less frightened more in love
less in passionate fake warmth
armed in will for winter days
armed in trust for inter nights
grow and journey back some day
and all here will be the same
now it`s time to great the vain
as at least somehow the full
know I`ll never learn to lose
but I hope to cope
if not, I`ll repeat this song
not me to count on and trust
not her to bow my head to
away where we sharply flew
all day when we`ll simply love
if He only wants us so
