Testo Black Swan
Testo Black Swan
Sun is falling and it lies in blood
Moon is weaving bandages of gold
Oh black swan, where oh where is my lover gone?
Torn and tattered is my bridal gown
And my lamp is lost
And my lamp is lost
With silver needles and with silver thread The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun
Oh black swan, where oh where is my lover gone?
I had given him a kiss [?]
And a golden ring
And a golden ring
Don't you hear your lover moan
Eyes of glass and feet of stone
Shells for teeth and wings for tongue
Deep deep down
Deep deep down
Deep deep down in the river's bed
He's looking for the ring
For the ring, for the ring, for the ring
Eyes wide open, never asleep
He's looking for the ring
For the ring, for the ring, for the ring
The spools unravel and the needles break
The sun is buried and the stars weep
O black [?], O black [?]
Take me away, take me away with you
I will share with you my golden hair
And my bridal crown
And my bridal crown
Oh take me down with you
Tae me down to my wanderin' lover
To my wanderin' lover
With my child unborn, with my child unborn
With my child unborn, with my child unborn
With my child unborn, with my child unborn
Moon is weaving bandages of gold
Oh black swan, where oh where is my lover gone?
Torn and tattered is my bridal gown
And my lamp is lost
And my lamp is lost
With silver needles and with silver thread The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun
Oh black swan, where oh where is my lover gone?
I had given him a kiss [?]
And a golden ring
And a golden ring
Don't you hear your lover moan
Eyes of glass and feet of stone
Shells for teeth and wings for tongue
Deep deep down
Deep deep down
Deep deep down in the river's bed
He's looking for the ring
For the ring, for the ring, for the ring
Eyes wide open, never asleep
He's looking for the ring
For the ring, for the ring, for the ring
The spools unravel and the needles break
The sun is buried and the stars weep
O black [?], O black [?]
Take me away, take me away with you
I will share with you my golden hair
And my bridal crown
And my bridal crown
Oh take me down with you
Tae me down to my wanderin' lover
To my wanderin' lover
With my child unborn, with my child unborn
With my child unborn, with my child unborn
With my child unborn, with my child unborn
