While I'm asleep
My spirit crawls out
Of my belly button
And goes down to the sea
To gather the wind
The wires and the shore
To wander the hills
Like a day gone before
When beauty was in season
Oh! Beauty in season!
Endangered by reason
Great love with no law
Today I woke
And my spirit was gone
Still on the shore
Where he truly belongs
So I call
For him
Across
The wind
And
Rain
To come and bring beauty
Back in season
Oh! Beauty in season!
I'm in danger of reason
Losing love to this law
To this
My spirit crawls out
Of my belly button
And goes down to the sea
To gather the wind
The wires and the shore
To wander the hills
Like a day gone before
When beauty was in season
Oh! Beauty in season!
Endangered by reason
Great love with no law
Today I woke
And my spirit was gone
Still on the shore
Where he truly belongs
So I call
For him
Across
The wind
And
Rain
To come and bring beauty
Back in season
Oh! Beauty in season!
I'm in danger of reason
Losing love to this law
To this

"It was written half asleep. Just imagine those days sometimes when you wake up in the morning and you feel dreadful. I was wondering why some days you wake up with a feel like that and sometimes you wake up and you are feeling fantastic. I had this idea that your spirit goes out of your body and goes off and dreams for you and sends back a dream in the morning. And maybe sometimes the spirit is still out there dreaming and you wake up and you're almost soulless and you live a soulless day. And when you fall asleep again you have your spirit back and you wake up recharged."
great love with no law. i love patrick wolf! i would implode in an electric puff of smoke if i heard this live.

Wow. That is a very interesting idea....
this song is really beautiful... being the same star sign as patrick (cancer), i was thinking he was talking about his spirit, the crab, going down to the water, the element cancer dominates.. but i could be talking aloada rubbish..just a thought
I like a lot plant-based's idea :] i'm cancer too
all admiration and love to Patrick for this song
