Nightjar Songtext
von Sleepthief

You keep your counsel so close
I feel no right to ask the questions
That burn in my sky like a Lewis Bonfire night
How time makes lovers liars
And all that prettiness seems so much blossom on a wild April day
Beautiful but bound for treading underfoot

What price reality
I′d give it nothing at all
It all seemed so true last week
This way
This way is more real
How could I ever feel I'd be allowed this dream?


I heard the nightjar
Have I been cursed?
I left a warm bed of amazed revelations
And lost the way back
Dropped the string
Didn′t think that I would need it anymore
And now the bed I find myself in
Is haunted by the purring of a nightjar

What price reality
I'd give it nothing at all
It all seemed so true last week
This way
This way is more real
How could I ever feel I'd be allowed this dream?
And all that prettiness seems so much blossom on a wild April day
Beautiful but made for treading underfoot

What price reality
I′d give it nothing at all
It all seemed so true last week
This way
This way is more real
How could I ever feel I′d be allowed this dream?
