Текст песни Nearer Than You (Emilie Autumn) с переводом

How can a woman tell

When love is gone

From love that merely sleeps

But deep inside

Has still the root

The stem and flower grows on

And so dreams not to die

But sleeps to hide

Perhaps

When the clouds drifting by make more noise

Than amorous whispers you aimlessly breathe

And croakings of paddocks

Speak with greater poise

Than lily pad speeches

With nothing beneath

And so I’ll confess what I know to be true

That bullfrogs

Have more eloquence than do you

When days are longer than they used to be

And nights are maddening eternity

With only forced sighs to interrupt

The same repose your lips

Would once corrupt

I’ll steal me away

So your soul shall not wake

Though more than my absence

To rouse it would take

Across from the meadow and down to the pond

To sink myself up to the waist

Then beyond

For water knows better in love what to do

And plays with its prey

With more passion than you

In dreaming one may oft' release his grasp

On what to conscious minds is naught but clear

That once the time of questioning is near

Chance there is none

To hide the fatal asp

Who follows me silently onto the shore

Where I learn to cherish my new solitude

And feel with precision

What ere had been rude

Yes, I shall return to thy bed nevermore

Born was I with one heart

I ask not for two

When rushes and lilies press

Nearer than you
