Weh

Summer Went South

Weh


Here I stand before you, 
not much more than skin and bones. 
All I see around me, 
endless fields of dust and stone. 
Just for a moment it seems that somehow 
things will look up, but that feeling's gone now. 

I want to feel just a little bit more. 
I want to feel like I felt before. 
I want to know there's not just one chance. 
Now I'm afraid there's blood on my hands. 

How I love a secret, 
if the secret's never told. 
How I love the flowers, 
if the flowers don't unfold. 
Look to the far side and seize the essence. 
Everything's dark, then you know my presence. 

I want to feel just a little bit more. 
I want to feel like I felt before. 
I want to know there's not just one chance. 
Now I'm afraid there's blood on my hands. 

There I stood before you, 
not much more than skin and bones. 
I heard summer fading, 
into autumn's dismal tones. 
Just for a moment the tide was turning, 
then came the frost with its cold, blue burning.

I want to feel just a little bit more. 
I want to feel like I felt before. 
I want to know there's not just one chance. 
Now I'm afraid there's blood on my hands.
