I sat in my armchair And listened politely As you tried to invite me But the answer was no And the distance between us Can never be crossed now And I'm calling out for you But they won't let me go They won't let me go The people around you A crowd without number All beautifully singing And dressed up like snow Can noone believe me With one drop of water I'm calling out for you But they won't let me go They won't let me go And I'm crawling for the table Melting like snow And they won't let me go I wish I could drown down here in this ocean of light I wish I could close my ears to the chorus of Christ I wish I was blind But I can't close my eyes I can't close my eyes The fire is freezing It burns without breathing I'm down in the darkness Where nothing can grow Eternally knowing I've chosen to be here I'm calling out for you But they won't let me go They won't let me go And I'm crawling for the table Melting like snow And they won't let me go They won't let me go
