The Town Fell Asleep Lyrics - Marc Almond

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

At the spring 

Where it wept a corner of sky drowned 

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

And night fell gradually 

And time stood still 

And my horse so muddy 

And my body exhausted 

And night shown bluely 

In the waters of fate 

And some cries of hate 

Poured out by the old 

And the oldest of old 

Those women without sleep

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

At the spring 

Where it wept a corner of sky drowned 

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

And horse bent drinking 

And me stood watching 

And my thirst taking care 

That she never sees my stare 

And the fountain sings 

And exhaustion sinks 

It's knife in my back 

And I play the role 

Of the all powerful 

I'm awaited somewhere 

Like one awaits the king 

No, no one waits for me 

And I know it's hard 

But we die by chance 

While leading a merry dance

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

At the spring 

Where it wept a corner of sky drowned 

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

Sometimes a dusk 

It's true that birds resemble waves 

And waves are birds 

And men are laughs 

And laughs are psalms 

More often it's true 

That the sea no longer sings 

I want to tell you 

That it sings of the songs 

That those mothers sing in books of our childhood 

but women are still only ever women and the fools among them only ever fools 

And I'm not so sure that the song states 

That she is the future of man 

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

At the spring 

Where it wept a corner of sky drowned 

The town fell asleep 

I forgot what it's called 

And you have died 

My unknown mate 

On the brink of the naked 

Beneath the sheets 

As they danced
