Oh ! ID hope you runG into them Dyou who've been Atraveling so DlongG D A D G D A
Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control
It begins with your family but soon it comes round to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you're sinned
Well, they lay down beside me I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
Dont turn on the lights you can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be alright
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be alright
