I Should Not Dare (For N.O.)

I Should Not Dare - David Sylvian

I should not dare to leave my friend

Because if he should die

While I was gone and I too late

Should reach the heart that wanted me

If I should disappoint the eyes

That hunted hunted so to see

And could not bear to shut until

He noticed me he noticed me

If I should stab the patient faith

So sure I'd come -so sure I d come

It listening listening went to sleep

Reciting my tardy name

My heart would wish it broke before

Since breaking then since breaking then

Is useless as next morning s sun

To erase a midnight's tear
