10000 Maniacs - If You Intend Lyrics
If you intend to live again,
then open your eyes and don't pretend you're feeling there's nothing worth believing.
God, if you persist you'll die like this,
and wither in the midst of your first season,
How can you be so near and not see everything?
If you intend to live again,
then take the outstreched hand of the one that needs you.
It's been so long, we've missed you.
Why do you intend to speed your end?
Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker, sinking low then deeper.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
Feel what might be. See what I see.
You say you don't, but you will.
How can you be so near and not see?

Amazing
this is truly one of the best of the 90's very overlooked, beautiful Art!!!
How can you be so near a Nazi?? Oh, here's the lyric sheet ... phew
Thanks, friend. I’ve never heard that before, and now I’ll never hear anything else. And bear in mind, the person described is not merely a Nazi doctor, or a Nazi soldier, or a Nazi propagandist, but a ‘Nazi everything’!
killer tune.
Best song off the album, love it.
Interesting, as I love that album but have always thought this was the probably the weakest song on it. Still a good song, and her voice is so wonderful that it makes it well worth listening to.
