In the Black - Psapp

I found you in the forest

And your bed was made of needles

You were sleeping

In the gloaming and the calm

I took you in my arms

Oh I laid you on my breast

Breathing in your soft sighs and your milky breath

And I asked you where you came from

And you said you didn’t know

But you found it didn’t matter

So I begged you not to go

I bathed you in the water

And I dried you with the day

We are nowhere

No one walks this way

Will we ever

Will we ever learn

Will we ever

Will we ever learn

That all we leave behind us is a pile of dirt beside us

Did I make, make a broken man

It’s too late now to turn it round

To make a sign so you’ll be found

I took you from the forest though you didn’t want to go

I tried to do my best for you

It didn’t always show

And I rocked you when you cried

And I hushed you in the black

You raised your eyes to meet mine

Said «you have to take me back»

I didn’t want to do it for you were all I had

But the life was draining from you

Your heart was getting sad

I still go to the forest and I want to call your name

The pull of you is endless

And I love you just the same

Will we ever

Will we ever learn

Will we ever

Will we ever learn

That all we leave behind us is a pile of dirt beside us

Did I make, make a broken man

Is it too late now to turn it round

To make a sign so you’ll be found

I’ll make a stake and pound it down

I’m sorry not to make you proud
