Joan Baez - Gacela Of The Dark Death lyrics
I want to sleep the dream of the apples
 To withdraw from the tumult of cemeteries
 I want to sleep the dream of that child
 Who wanted to cut his heart on the high seas
 I don't want to hear again that the dead do not lose their blood
 That the putrid mouth goes on asking for water
 I don't want to learn of the tortures of the grass
 Nor of the moon with the serpent's mouth that labors before dawn
 I want to sleep a while
 A while, a minute, a century
 But all must know that I have not died
 That there is a stable of gold in my lipsJoan Baez - Gacela Of The Dark Death - http://motolyrics.com/joan-baez/gacela-of-the-dark-death-lyrics.html
 That I am the small friend of the west wind
 That I am the immense shadow of my tears
Cover me at dawn with a veil
 Because dawn will throw fists full of ants at me
 And wet with hard water my shoes
 So that the pincers of the scorpion slide
 For I want to sleep the dream of the apples 
 To learn a lament that will cleanse me of the earth
 For I want to live with that dark child
 Who wanted to cut his heart on the high seas
