The Dancer — текст песни (P J HARVEY)

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames

He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name

He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory

I can`t believe what the lord has finally sent me



He said dance for me, fanciulla gentile

He said laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel

He said fly with me, touch the face of the true God

And then cry with joy at the depth of my love



`Cause I`ve prayed days, I`ve prayed nights

For the lord just to send me home some sign

I`ve looked long, I`ve looked far

To bring peace to my black and empty heart



Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, aaaaaah !



My love will stay `till the river bed run dry

And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky

I love him longer as each damn day goes

The man is gone and heaven only knows



`Cause I`ve cried days, I`ve cried nights

For the lord just to send me home some sign

Is he near ? is he far ?

Bring peace to my black and empty heart

So long day, so long night

Oh Lord, be near me tonight

Is he near ? is he far ?

Bring peace to my black and empty heart.
