Waterboys The Charlatans Lament
At long weary last
This game is over
The sins of our past
Fled from my shoulder
The sleep that I need
Is all I ask
In thought and in deed
I have burnt the mask
Here I am
Here I am
Enchantment is broken
I merged with the crowd
Oaths have been spoken
Inside and out loud
Emerging from under
Motions of God
In tears and in wonder
I ventured abroad
Here I am
Here I am
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me
Encountered a [Incomprehensible] hag
Blood on the snow
She said, "I've a burden to drag
And leagues to go"
I left her down by the seaside
In someone's hall
By dawn's empty light I cried
To no one at all
Here I am
Here I am
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
Tears and wonder
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me
Harder for me
