Bilingual
All the riders on the rise (all the riders on the rise)
Circlers from every side (circlers from every side)
All the riders on the rise (all the riders on the rise)
Circlers from every side (circlers from every side)
Eyes up, light floods around
In a yellow shadow after night
Comes down in a gravel
Fall in a dull dumb swipe and all is white
Fire painting on the pines (hawks above the timber-line)
Water weeping from the ice (water weeping from the ice)
Fire painting on the pines (hawks above the timber-line)
Water weeping from the ice (water weeping from the ice)
Heat is lost, winter rocks into a lonely boxwood grove
And quiet snowfall smothers all of the lawns
Where the ladies coughed and cried
I don't want to be there when it's time
ย
The dying stag is on his side
The hunters hiding up on high
The wind is beating through the briars
The wind is beating through the briars
The dying stag is on his side
The hunters are hiding, up on high
The wind is beating through the briars
The wind is beating through the briars
Waves on the graves of the saints
Dull gray as the sea pushes land away
Dull ache when you wake
Grey smoke shows the way you walk
Down by when it's time
I don't want to be there when it's time
To go down, down
I don't want to go down there alone
Down, down
I don't want to go down there alone
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
