Desertshore lyrics

The falconer is sitting on
His summersand at dawn
Unlocking flooded silvercages
And with a silverdin arise
All the lovely faces
And the lovely silvertraces erase
My empty pages
The falconer is sitting on
His summersand at dawn
Beside his singing silverwaves
And his dancing rebelrace
That compose ahead of timeless time
A sound inside my candle light

Father child
Angels of the night

My only child be not so blind
See what you hold
There are no words no ears no eyes
To show them what you know
Their hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find

The morning small
Too small to fill their ways with breathing
The evening tall

My only child remember well
The words that you are told
For some of them it is only easy to survive

Je suis le petit chevalier
Avec le ciel dessus mes yeux
Je ne peux pas me effroyer
Je suis le petit chevalier
Avec la terre dessous mes pieds
J'irai te visiter
J'irai te visiter

Seinem Geiste bekenne Ich Mich
Ein Sehnen verzehret sein schones Gesicht
Das ermattet von Gute beschattet allmachtig ist
Sein Korper bewegt sich nicht
Im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergisst

Den heulenden Jubel erkenne Ich nicht
Der Mir den heiligen Frieden zerbricht
Sein schweigender Mund, seine schlafende Brust
Harren zartlich der sussen Lust

Sein Korper bewegt sich nicht

Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Have someone else's will as your own
Have someone else's will as your own
You are beautiful and you are alone
You are beautiful and you are alone

Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace
Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace

Confuse your hunger capture the fake

Liebes kleines Mutterlein
Nun darf ich endlich bei Dir Sein
Die Sehnsucht und die Einsamkeit
Erlosen sich in Seligkeit
Liebes kleines Mutterlein
Nun darf ich endlich bei Dir Sein
Die Sehnsucht und die Einsamkeit
Erlosen sich in Seligkeit

Die Wiege ist Dein Heimatkleid
Ein Schweben Deine Herrlichkeit
In Wonne wandelt Dein Herzeleid
Und greift in die siegende Flut hinein

Your winding winds stood so
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed
Every child will be able to weep
Every wise man spoke of him
Every keeper will be sleeper
And a guide to ways unsure

Your winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed

Janitor of lunacy
Paralyze my infancy
Petrify the empty cradle
Bring hope to them and me
Janitor of tyranny
Testify my vanity
Mortalize my memory
Deceive the Devil's deed

Tolerate my jealousy
Recognize the desperate need

Janitor of lunacy
Identify my destiny
Revive the living dream
Forgive their begging scream

Seal the giving of their seed
Disease the breathing grief
