Darkness (11, 11) Lyrics

Van Der Graaf Generator
Least We Can Do
Darkness (11, 11)
Day dawns dark, it now numbers infinity...
Life crawls from the past, watching in wonder
I trace its patterns in me....
Tomorrow's tomorrow is birth again/
Boats burn the bridge in the fens/
The time of the past returns to my life
and uses it.

Don't blame me for the letters that may form in the sand;
don't look in my eyes, you may see all the numbers
that stretch in my sky and colour my hand...
Don't say that I'm wrong in imagining
[ Van Der Graaf Generator Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
that the voice of my life cannot sing!
Fate enters and talks in old words:
They amuse it.

Hands shine darkly and white: only in dark do they appear.
Bless the baby born today,
flying in pitch, flying on fear!
(Wicked little Scorpio, doomed to die a thousand times
before he lives!)
They shine in my eyes and touch my face
where I have seen them placed before...
don't blame me, please, for the fate that falls:
I did not choose it.
