I went down a little path to the river I followed your lips Bordered with aspens And weeping willows You were carrying crumpled dresses Frail set & jewerly Dresses slighter than clouds Which wach over you I saw your cool cloth Spread on green sky You were carrying The golden pollen of sun And I’ve looked your hair As I gaze at the morning Which get up And your long fingers Undid the stream’s plaits Where dewdrop As sleeping tears Comes to rest But grace clears At the first breath And dawn without a sound Through the trees As a shiver of candle Lights up and draws For the last time Your wispy curves But grace clears At the first breath And when autumn strides up You wilt as frightened birds

We have to cross A lot of countries In order to find The essentials things We have to travel In order to change Find a quiet life And obvious land The light which matters To my mind Is beyond the horizon And it’s easy to find My Bird and me we have strange conversations Emptiness tells rum things to Drop So many men believe in their illusions And it’s nothing but gobbledygook Why men are like flies They cut corners Bang their head on pane And never find the answer We’d like to go For a walk in their mind There’s so much draught But it’s a double bind Sky is a wine Earth is a bread But in between All hang by a thread My Bird and me we have strange conversations Emptiness tells rum things to Drop So many men believe in their illusions And it’s nothing but gobbledygook

I 've left a note above your pillow And I have brought the dog to heel I have closed the kitchen window And I have looked up to the hill I 'm on my way back home I'm on my way Millions dandelions petals Floating on the summer air Are following the wild meadow Winnowing around my hair Drifting in the deep of my mind I was lost in a circle but it’s not mine Drowning in the seas of your signs I was losing my youth and your time

Soft is the wood above our bodies Soft is the wood Rubs against our knees O Father, what have we done ! Look at this, heaven blows down Soft is the moon Above the dust of world Soft is the moon But the sky is blurred O Father, what have we done ! Look at this, heaven blows down rain of blue birds falling down take it easy when it sounds like the end of our lives, we are blind we’ve never heard the bells or recognized the signs Soft are the clouds Sweep our tracks away Soft are the clouds Which fade to grey O Father, what have we done ! Father, tell me, what have we done ! O Father, what have we done ! Look at this, heaven blows down

Remember, we’ve shared out Same sounds and perfumes. In summer heat, Under my shade, You came to take a rest. In winter I protected you From squalls and storms Into my arms. When shadows fall down Some candles and few glows Shine behind your windows Draw halos and crowns You’ve got December flames And I’ve got loneliness I’m cold and I’m boring While snow is falling But when it’s getting dark, you’re frightened of me And I feel so lonely… Just like an animal In spring days you marveled At magic flowers I bear But when comes the night You shiver with fear I’m less than ghost Less than monster less than beggar Less than wanderer But when it’s getting dark, you’re frightened of me And I feel so lonely… Just like an animal I’m an old and single tree So much sap flowed in me But nothing wore me down I’m still in love.
