Before The Bullfight Lyrics by David Sylvian

Before The Bullfight Lyrics

    I hear your voice
    Way down inside
    A whispering sea
    Of towering trees
    But no reply

    A silence so rare
    And more than i can stand
    Sweeps like a flood
    Through life's flesh and blood
    And steals away with it's heart

    If i'm losing you
    Then there's nothing more that i can say
    The fighting is on
    And battles are won
    Or thrown away

    But if i could live
    Safe and sound
    In god given fields
    Or mountains of steel
    Then here i'd stay
    Till you'd gone

    Guilty of stealing
    Every thought i own
    I will take my turn
    To fight the bullfight
    Every word's sunk in deep
    Like the blades of a knife through my heart
    But my strength will return
    To fight the bullfight

    As time's come to show
    I'm told nothing more than i should know
    A ship on the sea that threatens to leave
    But never goes
    This island of blue
    Where life clings to your hands
    Like water and sand
    Will loose it's way
    When you're gone

    When all's forgiven
    Still every fault's my own
    I will take my turn
    To fight the bullfight
    Say a prayer for my release
    When every hope in the world is asleep
    And my strength will return
    To fight the bullfight
