Expenses of a simple band
Brothers of device trembler who are well
In this ground far Western
I met a pleasant and pensive girl,
Expenses of a simple band
Brothers of device trembler who are well
In this ground far Western.
I spoke to him about the terrestrial love,
He answered with a sigh;
I sought to know the hidden truth,
And asked the reason why
He would prefer the lifespan of a device trembler,
Liking although it could be,
With work in the free world and large,
In conformity and to release,
With functions of family courting it,
And babies on his knee?
It reddened a trifle, and seemed timid,
With allowed the truth was flat,
That if somebody never comes
And to seek its love again,
It, with all its affectionate heart,
To accept its hand profferred,
And to leave him the friends of device trembler with him,
For any area or ground;
But that it doubted that the love
He in the past professed was o’ er,
And that it has fears that it for it
At summer extinguished for always;
And thus he guessed that he return of better
At its house calms device trembler,
And to limit the feelings of its heart,
And never not to seek to wander.
Girl of device trembler of O, pauses, I request,
Of serious thought of catch more,
Nor to remain burning desires of your heart,
With nature sky-born charged
The functions there are on each side,
Awaiting the hands laid out,
All without restriction, unlimited
By any faith or grounds.
The soft close relationships of the house are holier far,
Truer spontaneous acts,
That any work of device trembler ordered
So that the man fights through.

Lyrics:
I’ve been living with a shadow over head
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud on my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on
I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I have in need of them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time to clear a little space…
