Please don't stop me, my love, let me
lie down and kiss the ground, let me
taste the taste of freedom on my
tongue and remember my past no more.
Let my tears mingle with the sand and
the sun comfort my soul, for the earth
has opened up her mouth and swallowed
my past, no more pain, no more fear,
only sweet music shall ring in my ears.
Look down on her, O Lord, look down
and see your daughter weeping in the
sand, she ripped out her heart and has
cast it into the sea, she said,
"Tomorrow, I will be free."
But the ground where she laid is now
drunken with her past, afliction and
confusion. The sea has spewed out her
heart and the sun has hidden his face.
I tried to comfort her and said,
"Come my love, come, for tomorrow
is still yet to come,"
but she cannot be comforted, her
body's covered with wounds I
cannot see and her words I do not
understand.
Night is fallen and my soul grows
weak but I will not leave her,
I will cuddle her in my arms and
whisper in her ears,
Tomorrow, you will be free,
tomorrow, you will be free."
