Faithfull Marianne - Oh Look Around You lyrics

rate me

"Oh, look around you,

Tell me what do you see ?

Do you see the yellow morning

And the green land so free ?"

"Oh no, I see no morning

But lands of dark and grey

And they tell me the green land

Has long gone away,

Has long gone away."

"Once more look around you,

Tell me what do you see ?

Do you see the clear wave laughter

And the deep blue sea ?"

"Oh no, there is no sorrow

Where the laughing tree stood

And they tell me the blue sea

Has long turned to blood,

Has long turned to blood."

"No more look around you,

Say no more what you see.

But give me your cold hand

And lay beside me.

And there, oh my darling,

You will never worry

And we, like the others,

Will forget in our sleep,

Will forget in our sleep."
