Harel Skaat
Words
Sadness is here again
Fear rises up again
And the end is weaving
In my window
A cracked pane
And silence again
Exhausted and thrown
In my mind
The light is asleep
Tears of blood
Burning in my throat
A scratched handle
A slanted ceiling
When I sing you the last song
You left me only words
A shelter among the shadows
Books all lined up
And between the rooms
You left me only words
A bouquet of locks
God
You left me only words
The walls are silent now
And what did you take
When you ran away
Yeah, what did you take
In this war, maybe you won
And what’s left for me when you left
You left me only words
A shelter among the shadows
Books all lined up
And between the rooms
You left me only words
A bouquet of locks
God
You left me only words
And even the ice is cold
When I remember
How you stand before him
Lit by his shadow
Breaking for him
The words you left me
Now you’re telling him
