The Waterboys - The Charlatan's Lament lyrics

At long weary last This game is over The sins of the past Fled from my shoulder The sleep that i need Is all that i ask In thought and in deed I have burnt the mask Here i am Here i am Enchantment is broken I merged with the crowd Oaths have been spoken Inside and out loud Emerging from under Motions of god In tears and in wonder I ventured abroad Here i am Here i am Can you walk a smithereen Can you walk a smithereen Closer to me Could you love a thimbleful Could you love a thimbleful Harder for me Encountered a loathly hag Blood on the snow She said "i've a burden to drag And leagues to go" I left her down by the seaside In someone's hall By dawn's empty light i cried To no-one at all Here i am Here i am Can you walk a smithereen Can you walk a smithereen Closer to me Could you love a thimbleful Could you love a thimbleful Harder for me I swing between Tears and wonder I swing between Tears and wonder I swing between Tears and wonder I swing between Tears and wonder Can you walk a smithereen Can you walk a smithereen Closer to me Could you love a thimbleful Could you love a thimbleful Harder for me Harder for me
