Through the Night Songtext
von Fen

Old man, I′ve seen your hands
They steady one another
And in you lies a great king whose pride
Is weeping like a wound

Oh, that mighty fall changed the season
Oh, you're fading every day
And I have come to be with you

Old man, I clean your hands
I hold them under water
And you confide that in dreams you fly
Where no one has ever been

Through the night I wander
I leave you when you′re sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world

You don′t remember the room you′re in
I find you sweating and cold and thin
And I have come to be with you


Old man, I've walked your land
From one end to the other
While you inside remain death-defied
Your body like a tomb

Through the night I wander
I leave you when you′re sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don′t quite remember the world

Through the night I wander
I leave you when you're sleeping
It′s alright if you wake up
And don't quite remember the world

You don't remember the one you′ve been
Who are these figures that hem you in?
The night has come to be with you

Through the night I wander
I leave you when you′re sleeping
It's alright if you wake up
And don′t quite remember the world
