Theatre Of Tragedy A Distance There Is Lyrics

Come in out of the rain thou sayest
But thou ne'er step'st aside, and I am trapp'd, I am trapp'd
A distance there is...

None, save me and the bodkin
Pitter-patter on the roof
Behold! 'tis not the rain, thence me it has to be
I will not drink thine vintage wine, my dear
Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence
Yet thou let'st thy lass into peril
Thou let'st me be parchéd

My heart, My heart, My heart
My heart, My heart, My heart

My heart is of frailty
My pale skin is huéd damask

When thou thy tears hast hidden, "Come back!", thou sayest
There I soon am to be, but how am I to run
When my bones, my heart thou hast me bereaft

But run thou sayest
I run, I run, I run
I run, I run, I run
I run, I run, I run
I run, I run, I run

And there and then I behold that a time will come
When I again dead will be
Thou tell'st me to leave without delay
I leave, I leave, I leave, I leave

I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands
Lo! the shadows, the sky, descending
So by a dint of smite I gait
Ere I run and melt together with dusk

In my mind in which is this event
But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?

After all these years thou left me down in the emotional depths
The sombre soakéd velvet-drape is hung upon me
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world
All the beautiful moments sharéd, deliberatlely push'd aside

After all these years thou left me down in the emotional depths
The sombre soakéd velvet-drape is hung upon me
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world
All the beautiful moments sharéd, deliberatlely push'd aside

...a distance there is...
