Sad The Night

Sad the night, sad the night Wet with dew, far away from you Sad the night, sad the night When karma like a little bird is due to take perch But doesn't know where it'll be tomorrow, Like a heron following a gold or silver disk. Sad the night, sad the night When your childlike heartaches and can't sleep Sad the night, sad the night When elsewhere working your father can't hear you calling Sad the night, sad the night When the stars are just buried tears of mourning. Sad the night, sad the night When your soul flows like the river Jordan Sad the night, sad the night The moth dances madden fat and hungry swollen Sad the night, sad the night Eels dive deeper and deeper without drowning. Sad the night, sad the night Wet with dew, far away from you Sad the night, sad the night When karma like a serpent hisses your name in vain And yet the dew falls all night long Whispering, whispering my child be strong, The sun will elongate the glory of your eternal name Disperse it like dew, ceaselessly sun-dry-it anew.
