Whilst The Night Rejoices Profound And Still Lyrics by Current 93

Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
As we stared beyond the windows there
Over all the gardens
That have never been
And will never grow again
How long
How long
The shining winking stars

The clouds too high
So high
Pointing to some final star
The dull face of the sky
And the sound of the calling
Of the distant village bell
And all that
The sun is not enough for us
Any longer
And her smile
Though she wears her hat
And her cheery rays
Do not blanket with their glorious glare
The burning body
With distorted nimbus
I see too well
Just beyond my neighbour's house
It does not blank out
The last sigh of the soul
Whilst the night rejoices profound and still
At the edge of your street
Both shadow and destroyer
But not alas
The comforter
As we stared beyond the windows there   Over all the gardens   That have never been   And will never grow again   How long   How long   The shining winking stars      The clouds too high   So high   Pointing to some final star   The dull face of the sky   And the sound of the calling   Of the distant village bell   And all that   The sun is not enough for us   Any longer   And her smile   Though she wears her hat   And her cheery rays   Do not blanket with their glorious glare   The burning body   With distorted nimbus   I see too well   Just beyond my neighbour's house   It does not blank out   The last sigh of the soul   Whilst the night rejoices profound and still   At the edge of your street   Both shadow and destroyer   But not alas   The comforter
