Lyrics:
Go head to bead, put your head down, and leave me be;
leave this broken and sick nightwalker alone!
(Nightwalker can be mean a thief, a guardian, or a homeless admirer who walks the night)
This is the hand I was dealt, to be alone day or night;
Choose to come and forgive me if, choose to leave and persecute me;
This is me and my tears, curled up in a corner;
You can use my tears to run water-mills;
This is the hand I was dealt, to be alone day or night;
Choose to come and forgive me if, choose to leave and persecute me;
Run away from me so you won't get infected;
Go choose the path of health and avoid disaster;
The most healthy ones are the unfaithful;
Those who have suffered are the faithful to love;
In my dreams last night, I saw a wise man in love;
He pointed at me and asked me to follow;
If roadblocks are dragons, then love is an emerald;
The emerald that shines the brightest concurs the dragon!
Go(to bed), put your head down, and leave me be;
leave this broken and sick nightwalker alone!
