Testo Domoto - Geese

Domoto

I've been old since my eyes opened
Teach me kindness, show me cold
I've been awake too long, too long
Young and crying, eyes like prey
I see you in my head when I count my mistakes
I know where you're going, baby
You won't make it there, you
You won't make it there
A world of green men
And they don't know what sadness is
You have smelled this country's breath
You put children on your back

You can't stay here, in this place
Dark corridors, long hallway of my life

Making oceans hours move slow
Rivers are endless, I see them through
I suffer on with you, I suffer on with you
Five cold years pass like light
I remember you will know love
I am on my way to you, I am Saint Joseph
I will call your name
And I will lift you from the night
You've been silent all your life
You've been whispering your goodbyes

You can't stay here in my arms
Your soldiers, they mean you harm

Don't lie, girl
Don't even look me in the eye
