"WHERE'ER YOU WALK (HESSE/HANDEL)" lyrics
"WHERE'ER YOU WALK (HESSE/HANDEL)"
I walk so often, late, along the streets
Lower my gaze, and hurry, full of dread
Suddenly, silently, you still might rise
And I would have to gaze on all your grief
With my own eyes
While you demand your happiness, that's dead
I know, you walk beyond me, every night
With a coy footfall, in a wretched dress
And walk for money, looking miserable!
Your shoes gather God knows what ugly mess
The wind plays in your hair with lewd delight-
You walk, and walk, and find no home at all
Trees where you sit
Shall crowd into a shade
Trees where you sit
Shall crowd into a shade
Where'er you tread
The blushing flowers shall rise
And all things flourish
And all things flourish
Where'er you turn your eyes
Where'er you turn your eyes
I walk so often, late, along the streets
Lower my gaze, and hurry, full of dread
Suddenly, silently, you still might rise
And I would have to gaze on all your grief
With my own eyes
While you demand your happiness, that's dead
I know, you walk beyond me, every night
With a coy footfall, in a wretched dress
And walk for money, looking miserable!
Your shoes gather God knows what ugly mess
The wind plays in your hair with lewd delight-
You walk, and walk, and find no home at all
