| "From a Coffin" | |
| Don't go No, no, my love I hear you above Don't go Don't know how long since I died Or how I can know I'm shut inside But I hear you above And I'm longing For the world that I love For belonging I can't forget I can't let go Let me return Don't go Oh, to see the birth of Spring Feel it soften Or even to feel the earth Just outside my coffin I dream of the sky Of ascent And I ache for your skin And I'm helpless within This torment I need to breathe I need to be free Of this body I cannot scream Can only dream Even the dreams smother I can't break through Can't reach you Or any other I can't forget I can't let go Let me return Don't go No, no, my love I hear you above Don't go To all strangers passing by Here lies a ghost that cannot fly So sing her a lullaby That she may rest. |
