I Should Not Dare (For N.O.) Songtext
von David Sylvian

I should not dare to leave my friend
Because—because if he should die while I was gone
And I too late should reach the heart that wanted me

If I should disappoint the eyes
That hunted—hunted so to see
And could not bear to shut until they noticed me
They noticed me


If I should stab the patient faith
So sure I′d come, so sure I'd come
And, listening—listening, went to sleep
Telling my tardy name

My heart would wish it broke before
Since breaking then—since breaking then
Were useless as next morning′s sun
Where midnight frosts had lain
