lyrics

Frailty
Words by Tin Ujevic/music by John Kruth

In this mist
And in this rain
Oh drunken heart
Don’t drown in pain

Love unrequited
Gave no rest
So now you yearn
For the earth’s breast

All your longing
The cry of a slave
Is just to find
Some quiet grave

Here my soul
Will soon expire
And here will wither
My desire


On the waves
Of our blue, blue sea
The white, white pebbles
Cover me

And my needs
Will all come home
Under Blessed
Heaven’s dome

With sun calm blue
And clarity
Beneath the ground
That once bore me

All your longing
The cry of a slave
Is just to find
Some quiet grave
