Darkness Lyrics

(Hammill)

Day dawns dark, it now numbers infinity.
Life crawls from the past, watching in wonder
I trace it's patterns in me.
Tomorrow's tomorrow is birth again.
Boats burn the bridge in the fens;
The time of the past returns to my life
And uses it.

Don't blame me for the letters that may form in the sand;
Don't look in my eyes, you may see all the numbers
That stretch in my sky and colour my hand.
Don't say that I'm wrong in imaginingVan Der Graaf Generator - Darkness - http://motolyrics.com/van-der-graaf-generator/darkness-lyrics.html
That the voice of my life cannot sing.
Fate enters and talks in old words:
They amuse it.

The hands shine darkly and white: only in dark they appear.
Bless the baby born today,
Flying in pitch, flying on fear.

They shine in my eyes and touch my face
Where I have seen them placed before;
Don't blame me, please, for the fate that falls:
I did not choose it.
I did not, no no, I did not
I truly did not choose it.
