[Verse 1]
EmAs through a glass Cdarkly you seek yourself,
AmBut the light grows weak Emunder Yggsdrasil.
EmA basket of eggs Cmay you count your days.
AmThough your gut lies filled, Emonly shells remain.
[Chorus]
EmI can tell you've been GdrinkinAmg by the scent of your breath.
AmAnother little Gsip, Ema bit deeper in debt.
EmYou can rest your Ghead Amin your wrinkled hands.
AmBut when you awake, Emyou're in another land.
[Verse 2]
EmIn fields of green Crolling on endlessly
AmYou find a fallen nest Emwhere there is no tree.
EmMark the brown furred hound Ctied to the mandrake root.
AmDare you carve a face Emin that virtue food?
[Chorus]
EmI can tell what you're thinkinGg. AmI see it everyday.
AmI'll help you with your coatG, Emsee you on your way.
EmSure you want to go walking GoAmn a night like this?
AmLook, there goes another one nowG. EmOne day I swear they will not miss.
