I Came To Leave


A grail for the quest and the spirit of europe
a love unrequited and a dream to cling to
a flower yet brutal to perfume the filth
so i can breathe again
A grail for the quest and the spirit of europe
a love unrequited and a dream to cling to
a rain, cloud white, to wash my eye
so i can cry again
A grail for the quest and the spirit of europe
a love unrequited and a dream to cling to
a rain, cloud white, to purify the sky
so i can see again
- you will still sleep many hours
(here on the beach)
and one clear morning you will find
your boat tied to another shore -
A grail for the loss and the spirit of nothing
a love untrue and a dream for waking
a flower so brutal to perfume all this human filth
so i can live again
- do not be afraid
you will never see the last drop fall -
