Thalheim Lyrics - David Sylvian

Couldn't leave you if I tried 

Couldn't weather this alone 

And through the darkness you still provide 

The sweetest love I've ever known 

Take the shadow from the road I walk upon 

Be my sunshine, sunshine 

And in the emptiness 

You look and find someone 

The damage is undone 

And love has made you strong 

And heaven gave me mine, thalheim 

The saddest words have come undone 

Changing the very air I breathe 

And miracles have just begun 

In which only you and I believe 

Take the shadow from the road I walk upon 

Be my sunshine, sunshine 

And in the weightlessness 

You look and find someone 

The damage is undone 

And love has made you strong 

Heaven gave me mine, thalheim 

When I'm all at sea 

You never let me down 

I'll just keep coming back to you 

'til I walk on solid ground 

From the foothills to the mountains 

On the waters of the rhine 

Face to face in shahbagh gardens 

In communion, out of time 

Thalheim, thalheim 

From the lilies of the valley 

To the grapes upon the vine 

The well of speculation 

Is it his or hers or mine? 

Thalheim, thalheim 

In the everything and nothing 

In disharmony and rhyme 

In the sound of shot and echo 

Who's the victim, what's the crime? 

What's the crime? 

Be my, be my sunshine 

In the keening cries of evening 

Unforgotten, underlined 

We slipped into the water 

Out of focus, out of time.
