Lyrics The Charlatan's Lament - The Waterboys

At long weary last this game is over
The sins of the past fled from my shoulder
The sleep that I need is all I ask
In thought and in deed I have burned the mask
Here I am, here I am
Enchantment is broken, I merge with the crowd
Oaths have been spoken inside and out loud
Emerging from under notions of God
In tears and in wonder I venture abroad
Here I am, here I am
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful harder for me
Encountered a lovely hag, blood on the snow
She said I've a burden to drag and leagues to go
I left her down by the seaside in someone's hall
By dawn's empty light I cried to no one at all
Here I am, here I am
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful harder for me
I swim between tears and wonder
I swim between tears and wonder
I swim between tears and wonder
I swim between tears and wonder
Tears and wonder
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful harder for me
Harder for me
