lyrics

"Whet Stones At Both My Sides"

I still sniff at the pillow where my love's head lied next to mine some days ago, but how should I know where the love goes?

Whet stones at both my sides, on the floor the clothes I wore when she last saw me with her eyes, with her soft eyes hardly fastened to mine.

"This dance ends here," and with these words she sentenced me to the loneliness I fear, "but have faith, my darling! You must have faith, my darling, cause we will wait till you use this parting to find yourself, to find my darling!"

But I am just an empty house when you're gone, an empty body, I'm nothing strong. It's when you're here, you're my blood moving along, so I will wait lifeless until you get home.

"Then," she said, "you'll just continue to wait. I can't be your life, I can't be your blood, and if there's nothing in you, then there's nothing to love, so there is nothing you have worth waiting for. But have faith, my darling! You must have faith, my darling, cause we will wait till you use this parting to find yourself, to find your darling!"

It's when she said this, I could see standing long, my little self, there, waiting for me. Now, with myself, I am never alone, so I sing smiling till you come home, have faith, my darling! You must have faith, my darling! I could no longer wait, I could just use this parting to find myself, to find your darling!
