Das Lied von der Erde: VI. Der Abschied (The Farewell)

歌詞

Here I lied, wide awake, feeling nothing... Here I lied Didn't speak, just said nothing Here I liked, stretched the truth, Gave you the answers you wanted As I reach for Another quick thing to say I've lied Meanwhile... Here they lied, wide awake, feeling nothing Here they lied Side by side Far away Tin men and soldiers are bringing you home She waits for you and you're not there I know what you thought and I thought so too She said that she'd wait forever She tried He tried I tried all the way I tried You tried We lied All the words that get wasted (on what's not heard/the right thing to say) Lied In the bedroom, things get heated She bleeds, he heals her wound She leads, they live, they leave the room Isn't it a thin line in between lover & hate, Innocent affection, lust and rape What gets given to us, what we take from each other Mommy, look at the naked ape trying to communicate Singing words that don't mean anything I can never let myself forget Sometimes I feel so far away I'll try not to This helps me not to I tried, you tried, we tried all the way
