[Verse 1] I live my life in the dark I've often tried To push the curtain aside But I don't know how I don't know how I bury my face when I cough I've often thought Tonight we're bound to be caught But I don't know why I don't know why [Chorus] I'd love to see you Where the bluebirds grind their corn I'd love to see you In that old house where we were born [Verse 2] They're burning the heretics again It's awfully bright All the infamous night Down in the street Down in the square I dream of a world without war The lonely crowd Singing together aloud Verses of love Verses of peace [Chorus] I'd love to see you Where the bluebirds grind their corn I'd love to see you In that old house where we were born [Verse 3] The sorrow seeps through the floor It covers me As waters cover the sea But I don't know why It's all in the blink of an eye We laugh and cry We fall in love and we die But we don't know when We don't know why [Chorus] I'd love to see you When the angels blow their horn I'd love to see you In that old house where we were born
