Theatre Of Tragedy - ...a Distance There Is... Lyrics

Send "...a Distance There Is..." ringtone to your cell

Come in out of the rain thou sayest -

But thou ne'er stept'st aside;

And i am trapp'd - 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 heed'd that i am of innocence

Yet thou let'st thy lass into peril -

Thou let'st me be parched;

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 bereaft - but run thou sayest;

I run - and there and then i behold

That a time will come when i again dead will be.

Thou tell'st me to leave without delay -

I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands;

Lo! - the shadows the sky - descending;

So by a dint of smite i gait ere i run and melt together with dusk.

In my mind in which is this event

But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?!

After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths -

The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me

Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world;

All the beautiful moments shared deliberately push'd aside -

...a distance there is...
