The Town Fell Asleep Lyrics by Marc Almond

The Town Fell Asleep Lyrics

    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    At the spring
    Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    And night fell gradually
    And time stood still
    And my horse so muddy
    And my body exhausted
    And night shown bluely
    In the waters of fate
    And some cries of hate
    Poured out by the old
    And the oldest of old
    Those women without sleep

    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    At the spring
    Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    And horse bent drinking
    And me stood watching
    And my thirst taking care
    That she never sees my stare
    And the fountain sings
    And exhaustion sinks
    It's knife in my back
    And i play the role
    Of the all powerful
    I'm awaited somewhere
    Like one awaits the king
    No, no one waits for me
    And i know it's hard
    But we die by chance
    While leading a merry dance

    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    At the spring
    Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    Sometimes a dusk
    It's true that birds resemble waves
    And waves are birds
    And men are laughs
    And laughs are psalms
    More often it's true
    That the sea no longer sings
    I want to tell you
    That it sings of the songs
    That those mothers sing in books of our childhood
    But women are still only ever women and the fools among them only ever fools
    And i'm not so sure that the song states
    That she is the future of man

    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    At the spring
    Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
    The town fell asleep
    I forgot what it's called
    And you have died
    My unknown mate
    On the brink of the naked
    Beneath the sheets
    As they danced
