Enkidu Walked

(album: Lost In The Cedar Wood - 2021)

One, two, three, four

Enkidu walked away
Enkidu sighed in pain
Enkidu went for the flowers
Enkidu walked again

Oh, you know I have no answers
The trees have my heart and they won't give it back to me
Now my eyes have been opened
The future is crumbling
The paths are all black with trees
Oh friend, oh my friend
Oh my friend

Enkidu walked away
Enkidu sighed in pain
Enkidu went for the flowers
Enkidu walked again

Oh, I can see in the darkness
The storm clouds are gathering
I'm nearing your proud city
But I can hear the foxes' calls now
The bees have my heart and they won't give it back to me
Oh friend, oh my friend
Oh my friend

I've dreamed of my symmetry
An echo of death
I have a gong beating grief and all falsehoods to death
I have a path through the cedar wood
I hear Humbaba's roar
I have a dream, I have a dream
Cloaked in feathers to walk
Through the earth

Enkidu walked away
Enkidu sighed in pain
Enkidu went for the flowers
Enkidu walked again

Oh, your streets are all silent
Your rivers run blear
Oh, your rivers run fast and free
There are tents on the hillsides
And fires in the wood
The birds have my heart and they won't give it back to me
Oh friend, oh my friend
Oh my friend
