don't be offended
Hey!Look

come silently
in the deep red darkness of my dream

don’t be offended
when the cool hours are asleep
in the clear white morning

don't be offended
try to come, will you?
come silently try silence
you and i in the passage
on the brown mountains of your eyes
let go
as its skirts turn green

don't be offended
try to come, will you?
come silently, try silence

i forgot your voice
come silently, leave silently
had nothing to say whilist leaving
ask yourself, if you wish to stay
try to see once
see if you want to see

don't be offended
sorrowful lyrics are growing in my garden
be a guest for the last time/just be my guest
if you wish, come take a look
hear too
the green soil we can't dare to step on
has turned its back to us both
leaves have fallen
rotten september
squat down on my heart
turning back has no meaning to me
come if you want
look, see/and
never be offended.
