lyrics

The Changeling

On awakening from my sweat-soaked dream
My sweetheart quells desires, serene
my last night lover on my pillow
Hanging head like weeping willow
Each night a sorrowed life I build
Of emptiness, embittered chill

Don't ring my bell
though I wish you come again

my tears don't dare to ease my heart
From fears of anguish she imparts
Inside of me, my whole being screams
For heaven's sake just let me be
you've teased my weakest part
Left me drowning in my art

Everyday I see your unpaid bill
Your squalid life on tenement hill
on which, I no longer climb
Buried deep in ravages of time

Don't ring my bell
though I wish you come again
