lyrics

Once, somewhere far and deep
A promise was made, a word to keep
Softly, quietly a child
Waited to be put to sleep
Dreaming in a mother tongue
Hide your fire, hide your lisp
Slip into a different speech
We never used between us

Once in a distant year
People died and disappeared
Softly, quietly a child
Learned to run away from fear
Dreaming in a mother tongue
Lighting fires, acting queer
Underneath the speeding clouds
Nothing stays between us
