"The Gravedigger's Song" lyrics
"The Gravedigger's Song"
With piranha teeth
I've been dreaming of you
And the taste of your love, so sweet
Honest, it's true
Through my heart flows sleep
And the dog-heavy rain
Where the gravedigger's song is sung
You've been torturing me
Tout est noir, mon amour
Tout est blanc
Je t'aime, mon amour
Comme j'aime la nuit
[English translation:
"Everything is black, my love
Everything is white
I love you, my dear
As I like the night"]
Love, is the medicine good?
Is the crow flying eight miles high
Over wire and wood?
Shovel down six feet
With a head-heavy pain
The magnolia blooms so sweet
And it fades just the same
To the stars, my love
To the sea
To the wheels, my love
'Til they roll all over me
Oh love, I've been thinking of you
With razor white teeth so sharp
Honest, it's true
In my blood flows sleep
And the dog-heavy rain
The magnolia blooms so sweet
Only torturing me
To the stars, my love
To the sea
To the wheels, my love
'Til they roll all over me
Thanks to N.B. for correcting these lyrics.
