Van der Graaf Generator "When She Comes" testo

When She Comes

Slow motion in the quiet of the room;So potent is the smell of her perfumeThat you think she's eternal,That you think she is everything...But no-one knows what she is.Repentance for all you should have said;Her entrance seems to raise you from the deadAnd you think she's really with you,And you think that she'll always stay,Always ready to forgive you,Always ready to grant you her mercyBut in her own way.When she comes, she'll be a stranger;Struck dumb, you'll try to protestAs the drum beats out the danger...Too late, you should have noticedThat the lady with the skin so white,Like something out of Blake or Burne-JonesAlways blocked out the lightAnd shadowed all you owned.Still you think she's forever,Yesterday and tomorrow...But no-one knows where she is.Still you swear that you can win herAnd your prayer is that she'll want you;Aware - once a saint, now you're a sinnerAnd your sins are going to haunt youWhen the lady with her skin so whiteLike something out of Edgar Allan PoeHolds your hand so very tightAnd you hope that she'll never let go.Easy targets, easy crosswords, easy life:These key margins leave you balanced on the knife,Bleeding darkly.In the end it all comes down to sleazy bargains.That hidden key - you tried so hard to find it,All you can conceive is the effort to be worthy;Even now you need to be remindedThat La Belle Dame is without mercy.The lady with her skin so white -You never did quite catch her name -Now she holds you in the nightAnd she'll never let go again,She'll never let go again.
