A Plague Of Lighthouse-keepers:(v) Presence Of The Night Lyrics - Van Der Graaf Generator

( Hammill ) 

'"Alone, alone" the ghosts all call, pinpoint me in the light; 

the only life I feel at all is the presence of the night. 

Would you cry if I died? 

Would you cry if I died? 

Would you catch the final words of mine? 

Would you catch my words? 

I know that there's no time; I know that there's no rime... 

false signs find me 

I don't want to hate / I just want to grow / 

Why can't I let me live and be free - but I die very slowly 

alone 

I know no more ways / I am so afraid / 

myself won't let me just be myself and so I am completely 

alone.
