Catch my dreams and take away Like poems which I unsay. Keep my wishes and hide it far away With my oppressive dismay. Feather to feather, Thread by thread... Stripes of leather, Ribbon shred... Let my nightmares Spinning under the ceiling Be ensnared, ensnared, ensnared! Shelter my feelings. Let the night ghosts Among the openwork lines Be lost, be lost, be lost, And burnt in the sunrise! Oh, my fate is in my hands Created from my thoughts and acts. Thread of my life so steadily strives To weave with other people's lives. Feather to feather, Thread by thread... Stripes of leather, Ribbon shred... Let my nightmares Spinning under the ceiling Be ensnared, ensnared, ensnared! Shelter my feelings. Let the night ghosts Among the openwork lines Be lost, be lost, be lost, And burnt in the sunrise!
