Here today the red sky tells its tale,
But the only listening eyes are mine.
There is peace amongst the hills,
And the night will cover all my pride.
Blessed are they who smile from bodies free,
Seems to me like any other crowd
Who are waiting to be saved.

Wait, there still is time for washing in the pool,
wash away the past.
Moon, my long lost friend is smiling from above,
smiling at my tears.
Come, we'll walk the path that takes us to my home,
keep outside the night.
The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead,
somehow.

And each will find a home,
And there will still be time,
for love in my friend
- You are there -

And will I wait forever, beside the silent mirror
And fish for bitter minnows
amongst the weeds and slimy water.

I, I, I, I, I,
I, I, I, I, I, said I wanna sit down.
I, I, I, I, I,
I, I, I, I, I, said I wanna sit down.
I want a drink, I want a drink.
To take all the dust and the dirt from my throat.
I want a drink, I want a drink.
To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts.
I want a drink.

Then let us drink.
Then let us smile.
Then let us go.
This song is from the album "Trespass" and "Archive 1967-75".
