Poet's Price Songtext
von Daniel Steinbock

I kicked the door so closed
It won′t open anymore
I heard the blackbird sing
For the last time

And every time I, every time I, every time I pay
That old poet's price
I thank you, babe, for doin′ me wrong
Thank you, road, for making it harder
Thank you, love, for leaving me out in the rain
Thank you for making me pay


I woke at midnight
Hazy in a half moon
I watched the white waves break
On the coastline
And I'm tossed upon the waves
That roll inside

And every time I, every time I, every time I pay
That old poet's price
I thank you, babe, for doin′ me wrong
Thank you, road, for making it harder
Thank you, love, for leading me out in the rain

Every road that I took, every song that I sang
Every lover I lost, every friend who lay dying
Every con I played, every god that I prayed to
When I felt so crazy like I was dying
Is a white bird rising over me
Now gone
Gone, gone


I kicked the door so closed
It won′t open anymore
I heard the blackbird sing
For the last time
