A Distance There Is - Live

"Come in out of the rain," thou sayest
 But thou never steppest aside
 And I'm trapped, I'm trapped
 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 thy vintage wine, my dear
 Thou hast heeded that I'm of innocence
 And thou lettest thy lass into peril
 Thou lettest me be parched
 My heart, my heart, my heart
 My heart, my heart, my heart
 My heart is of frailty
 My pale skin is hued 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 bereft?
 "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
 I run, I run, I run
 And there and then I behold that a time will come
 When I again dead will be
 Thou tellest me to leave without delay
 I leave, I leave
 I leave, I leave
 I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hand
 Lo, the shadows, the sky descending
 So by a dint of smite, I gait
 Before I run and melt together with dusk
 In my minds 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-soaked velvet drape is hung upon me
 Turning my feelings away (turning my feelings away)
 All the beautiful moments shared, deliberately pushed aside
 After all these years, thou left me down in the emotional depth
 The sombre-soaked velvet drape is hung upon me
 Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world
 All the beautiful moments shared, deliberately pushed aside
 A distance there is...
 A distance there is...
