Lullaby for myself |
jaar: 2011 (1941) |
I rock and I rock and I rock me to sleep to make all the dreams I can make, and drink in a daze the same deadening wine as someone who sleeps while awake. I sing and sing and sing me a song a happy song I've sung before, I sing it like someone unable to see there's no going back anymore. I tell me and tell me and tell me the tale the tale of the ways love can speak. I tell me but I can't believe anymore and the ending I know will be bleak. I play and I play and I play me a tune of all the days left behind. I set myself free from all the truth and act as it I were blind. I laugh and I laugh and I laugh at myself and all of these games I create. And the dreams I keep dreaming, so muddled and strange, and all at the mercy of Fate. verschenen op: * Songs in the Distance (2011) * |
