While Cardiff sleeps

 

The Welsh rain
Is knocking at the window
While the wind
Whispers to my pillow
And I have my hands so empty
As I am still only twenty

I’ve got flames
But they sink in the water
And my face
So pale on the glasses
While I see some roses sons of autumn
And my prayer is to change sad emotions

In this land of heroes and of dragon
I am now I admit
I am so far from wisdom
That I would
I can give my life for truth

Everyday seems clearer than the day
Before
That I was born for another way
To go
But I’ve not still understood

While Cardiff sleeps
I’m behind the curtains
I can’t be
This way still for a long time
I’m singing with low voice so desperately
But whining never made a man so happy

And I think
Of my first time in Wales
I was me
But also different
Over me was the sky with all the clouds
While now I’ve got a ceiling of dark doubts

In this land of heroes and of dragon
I am now
I admit I am so far from wisdom
That I would
I can give my life for truth

Everyday seems clearer than the day
Before
That I was born for another way
To go
But I’ve not still understood
