The Sue Lee Song

Sometimes I falter

beneath an endless sky

And I can't remember when,

only why

And I call out your name in the darkness

from far away

These days are so strange

(so strange)

Like a fire that has no flame

Like a vessel that's hungry

for rain

And I call out your name in the darkness

from far away

And soldiers all march and fight

Spending up their youthfulness

and skinny pride

While maidens all sleep

with their hearts all on their sleeves

Bloodied from victory

These days are so long

And still I plow my way

Through these nights so cold

And these nights so strange

When even the stars

seem to lose their way

And I call out your name in the darkness

from far away

And soldiers all march and fight

Spending up their youthfulness

and skinny pride

While maidens sleep

with their hearts all on their sleeves

Bloodied from victory

With all my heart

I want to march to where you sleep

But you rise no more

Like the strange fruit of war

Laid down

at the victors' feet

And I call out your name

from the darkness

And I call out your name

from the darkness

so far away.
