[Verse 1]
I live my life in the dark
I've often tried
To push the curtain aside
But I don't know how
I don't know how
I bury my face when I cough
I've often thought
Tonight we're bound to be caught
But I don't know why
I don't know why
[Chorus]
I'd love to see you
Where the bluebirds grind their corn
I'd love to see you
In that old house where we were born
[Verse 2]
They're burning the heretics again
It's awfully bright
All the infamous night
Down in the street
Down in the square
I dream of a world without war
The lonely crowd
Singing together aloud
Verses of love
Verses of peace
[Chorus]
I'd love to see you
Where the bluebirds grind their corn
I'd love to see you
In that old house where we were born
[Verse 3]
The sorrow seeps through the floor
It covers me
As waters cover the sea
But I don't know why
It's all in the blink of an eye
We laugh and cry
We fall in love and we die
But we don't know when
We don't know why
[Chorus]
I'd love to see you
When the angels blow their horn
I'd love to see you
In that old house where we were born
