Poem #1
SWANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

1st voice:

Wanna know i wanna know what itโ€™s like
I wanna feel I wanna feel how it feels to be alone

I gotta know I gotta know who I am
I gotta know how to untwine your mind
โ€˜Cause I can see nothing
My heart is going blind
No I can see nothing
Donโ€™t you leave me behind

I want it now I want it now not tomorrow oh no
โ€˜Cause I gotta know I gotta know where to go

I wanna drink I want a glass of wine
I wanna know why Iโ€™m writing these lines

โ€˜Cause I can see nothing
My heart is going blind
No I can see nothing
Donโ€™t you leave me behind

2nd voice:

Night has come the sun is leaving
Eyes are closed but I'm still breathing
cold wind blows the trees are weeping
lights go out my love lies sleeping
birds can sing what hearts can render
you can break her. I can mend her

only love and hope can guide us
only hope that love can find us
truth is always disappearing
what I hear's not what I'm hearing
words can never be sincerely
sometimes close but only nearly




Eyes are closed but I'm still breathing
Night has come the sun is leaving
