Wild Strawberries How Long
Gunther told me it would take one week I knew for sure that he was lying How long Well I went to see my doctor Only she was crying twice as much as me How long They say suicide is painless But I'd like to disagree I've watched my country cut her veins I've seen her civilized o.d. And Thomas More he signals me With foreign wars and razor-blades All I can say is how long How long Forgive me this intrusion You're my only consolation As my people cry with me how long I don't mean to be exploitive But my God I know you're listening And I know that you are crying here with me When the vicar shot the stranger We assumed his good intentions When the stranger shot We pronounced him dead There's a part of me that's empty When the world has stopped its shaking There's a part of me that wants it all to end
