Lyrics
The Devil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As soon as I'm
Left alone
The Devil wanders
Into my soul
And I pretend to myself
And I pretend to myself
I go out
To the Old Milestone
Insanely expecting
You to come there knowing
That I wait for you there
That I wait for you there
Come! Come!
Come here at once!
Come! Come!
On a Night with No Moon
Because all of my being is now in pining
All of my being is now in pining
What formly cheered me
Now seems
Insignificant!
Insignificant!
