I went down to the place
Where I knew she lay waiting
Under the marble and the snow
I said, Mother I'm frightened
The thunder and the lightning
I'll never come through this alone
She said, I'll be with you
My shawl wrapped around you
My hand on your head when you go
And the night came on
It was very calm
I wanted the night to go on and on
But she said, Go back to the World

We were fighting in Egypt
When they signed this agreement
That nobody else had to die
There was this terrible sound
And my father went down
With a terrible wound in his side
He said, Try to go on
Take my books, take my gun
Remember, my son, how they lied
And the night comes on
It's very calm
I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
But you don't want to lie, not to the young

We were locked in this kitchen
I took to religion
And I wondered how long she would stay
I needed so much
To have nothing to touch
I've always been greedy that way
But my son and my daughter
Climbed out of the water
Crying, Papa, you promised to play
And they lead me away
To the great surprise
It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes
And they hide, they hide in the World

Now I look for her always
I'm lost in this calling
I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
Saying, When will she summon me
When will she come to me
What must I do to prepare
When she bends to my longing
Like a willow, like a fountain
She stands in the luminous air
And the night comes on
And it's very calm
I lie in her arms and says, When I'm gone
I'll be yours, yours for a song

Now the crickets are singing
The vesper bells ringing
The cat's curled asleep in his chair
I'll go down to Bill's Bar
I can make it that far
And I'll see if my friends are still there
Yes, and here's to the few
Who forgive what you do
And the fewer who don't even care
And the night comes on
It's very calm
I want to cross over, I want to go home
But she says, Go back, go back to the World


Mirror lyrics:

But she says, Go back, go back to the World
I want to cross over, I want to go home
It's very calm
And the night comes on
And the fewer who don't even care
Who forgive what you do
Yes, and here's to the few
And I'll see if my friends are still there
I can make it that far
I'll go down to Bill's Bar
The cat's curled asleep in his chair
The vesper bells ringing
Now the crickets are singing

I'll be yours, yours for a song
I lie in her arms and says, When I'm gone
And it's very calm
And the night comes on
She stands in the luminous air
Like a willow, like a fountain
When she bends to my longing
What must I do to prepare
When will she come to me
Saying, When will she summon me
I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
I'm lost in this calling
Now I look for her always

And they hide, they hide in the World
It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes
To the great surprise
And they lead me away
Crying, Papa, you promised to play
Climbed out of the water
But my son and my daughter
I've always been greedy that way
To have nothing to touch
I needed so much
And I wondered how long she would stay
I took to religion
We were locked in this kitchen

But you don't want to lie, not to the young
I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
It's very calm
And the night comes on
Remember, my son, how they lied
Take my books, take my gun
He said, Try to go on
With a terrible wound in his side
And my father went down
There was this terrible sound
That nobody else had to die
When they signed this agreement
We were fighting in Egypt

But she said, Go back to the World
I wanted the night to go on and on
It was very calm
And the night came on
My hand on your head when you go
My shawl wrapped around you
She said, I'll be with you
I'll never come through this alone
The thunder and the lightning
I said, Mother I'm frightened
Under the marble and the snow
Where I knew she lay waiting
I went down to the place
