Babble Songtext
von Washington Irving

I′ll rest here a while with the babble in my ear
As you speak your mind I no longer hear
So I'll put my hand to writing something you won′t understand
I'll shout this babble clear from the tops of the trees

Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down


As the ship sails away
And no one waits for me
But the babble I have shored against the fallen trees
With one more glance into the golden sphinx
I'll take my leave as the wreck of the night sinks

Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down
Then the bridge falls down

This babble I have shored against the fallen trees
I know the empty forest floor waits for me
And I do not understand what the thunder said
He speaks in the torchlight′s glow, torchlight glow
