Waterboys - The Charlatans Lament Lyrics

At long weary last this game is over The sins of the past have fled from my shoulder The sleep that I need is all I ask In thought and in deed I have burned the mask Here I am... Here I am... Enchantment is broken I merge with the crowd Oaths have been spoken inside and out loud Emerging from under notions of god In tears and in wonder I venture 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 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 for 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 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 Waterboys Lyrics The Charlatans Lament Lyrics
