By The Rivers Dark
(专辑: Ten New Songs - 2001)
By the
rivers dark I
wandered on. I
lived my life in Babylon. And I
did forget My holy song: And I
had no strength In Babylon. By the
rivers dark Where I
could not see Who was waiting there Who was hunting me. And he cut my lip And he cut my heart. So I
could not drink From the
river dark. And he covered me, And I
saw within, My lawless heart And my wedding ring, I
did not know And I
could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the
rivers dark I
panicked on. I
belonged at last to Babylon. Then he struck my heart With a
deadly force, And he said, 'This heart: It is not yours.' And he gave the
wind My wedding ring; And he circled us With everything. By the
rivers dark, In a
wounded dawn, I
live my life In Babylon. Though I
take my song From a
withered limb, Both song and tree, They sing for him. Be the
truth unsaid And the
blessing gone, If I
forget My Babylon. I
did not know And I
could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the
rivers dark, Where it all goes on; By the
rivers dark In Babylon.
