Lyrics
There is nothing to be afraid of It is only the wind Changing to the east, it is only Your father the thunder Your mother the rain In this country of water With its beige moon damp as a mushroom Its drowned stumps and long birds That swim, where the moss grows On all sides of the trees And your shadow is not your shadow But your reflection Your true parents disappear When the curtain covers your door We are the others The ones from under the lake Who stand silently beside your bed With our heads of darkness We have come to cover you With red wool With our tears and distant whipers You rock in the rain's arms The chilly ark of your sleep While we wait, your night Father and mother With our cold hands and dead flashlight Knowing we are only The wavering shadows thrown By one candle, in this echo You will hear twenty years later
