When the weary men in the skeletal park Play their old downpour, we shall look for the sun to bid our sins A sincere hello we’d forgotten.
Wash your hand before you wave it, and now look up.
I remember how the fingers of the tree there Used to drown along In the lake above the park For you alone.
They were catching dreams, don't worry.
And you remember how those fingers Used to draw red line In the lake beneath the park Do you not?
They were waiting for dreams, don't worry.
But yesterday, You cheered for their departure;
And today, You weep for their absence.
And finally the next, You seek for their replacement;
drifting all the way To the lake beneath the park.
Let me just tell you a thing loud and clear: If you ever want to dig alone to the bottom of the lake; Just remember,
that whenever I slumber in this puddle that lacks of blood The moon on the lake above followed me always to bed And as I lie, looking up for the sun It simply slandered my confounded elegy.
That is why in this skeletal park of streams and wires I keep trying to tip my hat and bid farewell Till the sun eventually goes down and sleep next to me So that along with my smile, it would lastly grin my sins
But what if my fingers drowned all along in tipping my sins? What would the lake have for me, and what would the men play above the grinning sun?
I wonder if all the sea was all a scene They played during my silent ******. I wonder if all the scene was all a sin The sun conjured between my fingers.
But what if my fingers drowned all along in bidding farewell? Just forget what I said, and don't take it to the heart. They were not looking for light, anyway. They were looking for you.
That is why I want you to speak of hands And count fingers instead of hope; so that you would Come and get mine Along the red lines of sinful ****** scene In the lake beneath this skeletal park.
