Daphne's Story, Gustav's Song Lyrics

Darling please

Lay in my arms

A brand new day

Will soon be dawning

Soon, my love, I promise you

In your eyes

There's a golden

Cradle shining

Like the daybreak

On the face of

Yonder mountain

Where the vespers talk

They're sayin

Oh my, oh my darlin

You ain't got to say a word

They say shh

Darling, wait til morning comes

Wait til morning comes

A big green blanket

Just like daphne wore

When that strange god

Came and raped her

And then her father

God embraced her

On the bank of

The same river where she was born

Whispering

Oh my, oh my darlin

You ain't got to say a word

He says shh

Darling, wait til morning comes

Wait til morning comes

He said oh my, oh my darlin

You ain't got to say a word

He says shh

Darling, wait til morning comes

Wait til morning comes

Do you really

Need this cradle

I have carved you

From my hands

Do you really

Need a lover

Do you really

Need a man

She says I's lookin

For the mornin

Oh my darlin

In your hands

She said I nearly

Found the golden mornin

Burning In your hands

She says I nearly

Found the golden mornin

Before you gave me all them splinters, man

She says, oh my, oh my darlin

You ain't got to say a word

She says shh

All you gods are just the same

She says oh my, oh my darlin

You ain't got to say a word

She says shh

Wait til morning comes

Wait til morning comes

Wait til morning comes

Wait til morning comes
