Through the Night
Old man, I've seen your hands
They steady one another
In you lies a great king whose pride
Is weeping like a wound
Oh, that mighty fall changed the season
Oh, you're fading everyday
And I've come to be with you
Old man, I clean your hands
I hold them underwater
You confide that in dreams you fly
Where no one has ever been
Through the night I wander
I leave you when you're sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world
You don't remember the room you're in
I find you sweating and cold and thin
And I've come to be with you
Old man, I've walked your land
Been one end to the other
While you, inside, remain death-defied
Your body like a tomb
Through the night I wander
I leave you when you're sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world
You don't remember the one you have been
Who are these figures that hem you in
The night has come to be with you
Through the night I wander
I leave you when you're sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world
They steady one another
In you lies a great king whose pride
Is weeping like a wound
Oh, that mighty fall changed the season
Oh, you're fading everyday
And I've come to be with you
Old man, I clean your hands
I hold them underwater
You confide that in dreams you fly
Where no one has ever been
Through the night I wander
I leave you when you're sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world
You don't remember the room you're in
I find you sweating and cold and thin
And I've come to be with you
Old man, I've walked your land
Been one end to the other
While you, inside, remain death-defied
Your body like a tomb
Through the night I wander
I leave you when you're sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world
You don't remember the one you have been
Who are these figures that hem you in
The night has come to be with you
Through the night I wander
I leave you when you're sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world
