Narcissus Songtext
von Natalie Merchant

Made me love you
Made me love you
You made me feel the way
I do without you now

Bewitched my mind
Took possession of my very soul
Enchanted me

I was drawn to you like those ships of fools that had gone before
Drawn by your haunting voice, but never...
Never reached the shore

Made me love you
Made me love you
And you made me feel the way
I do without you now

Convinced that I was your reflection
Poor my sister′s aching for the perfect love

I went blindly through the fire for you and I burned it all
Made ashes of everything that I...
I'd ever seen and ever known


I′m nothing but living
Breathing, flesh and blood, alive
Can you feel me?
I'm nothing but the clear and empty sky above, I'm light
Can you see me?

Look how I′m fading away
Look how you′re wasting away
Let me take you home

Well, I was drawn to you
Like those ships of fools that had gone before
Drawn by your haunting voice, but never...
But never reached the shore

I'm nothing but living
Breathing, flesh and blood, alive
Can you feel me?
I′m nothing but the clear and empty sky above, I'm light
Can you see me?
I′m cursed, repeating words that have no sense, no meaning, lies
Can you hear me?


Look how you're wasting away
Look how you′re fading away
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Look how you're wasting away
Look how I'm fading away
Look how I′m fading away

Let me take you home
Let me take you home
Let me take you home
Let me take you home
Will you let me take you home?
Will you let me take you?
