I Came To Leave Songtext / Lyric

a grail for the quest and the spirit of Europe

a love unrequited and a dream to cling to

a flower yet brutal to perfume the filth

so I can breathe again



a grail for the quest and the spirit of Europe

a love unrequited and a dream to cling to

a rain, cloud white, to wash my eye

so I can cry again






a grail for the quest and the spirit of Europe

a love unrequited and a dream to cling to

a rain, cloud white, to purify the sky

so I can see again



- you will still sleep many hours

(here on the beach)

and one clear morning you will find

your boat tied to another shore -



a grail for the loss and the spirit of Nothing

a love untrue and a dream for waking

a flower so brutal to perfume all this human filth

so I can live again



- do not be afraid

you will never see the last drop fall -
