The Charlatans Lament Lyrics - Singles - Waterboys

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 

Photos 

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
