Lost (Robin's Song)

Haggard · And Thou Shalt Trust The Seer [1997]

Running away in the autumn rain

Did you ever see a little child sleeping?

"To be near them will my sorrow drain..."

Suddenly I stopped, their bodies weren't breathing anymore

And I couln't help!

They captured my heart with their sorrow... it grows

-

Due to the ones who fear

Dance in the morninglight

Due to the ones who fear

Slaves to this innocent might

-

Due to the ones who fear

Dance in the morning light

Due to the ones who fear

Slaves to this innocent might

-

Carrying away the ones I love

Folden hands, they have been blessed

Now I feel angry 'bout the ones above

Just no warning, no sign

Hey, yes, I fear!

And I just really feel darkness inside

Lost without a chance to hide

-

Due to the ones who fear

Dance in the morning light

Due to the ones who fear

Slaves to this innocent might

-

See me down

Down on the ground

Hoping that nobody hears

The sound of these falling tears

-

Endless bleeding

Hoping that nobody sees

What you did to me!

-

Endless weeping

Hoping that nobody hears

The sound of these falling tears

-

Endless mourning

hoping that nobody knows

These feelings below

The recording captures a distinct era where the artist blended traditional instrumentation with a moody, cinematic sensibility, creating a soundscape that resonates with listeners seeking depth and melancholy. As part of a broader body of work characterized by its narrative focus and evocative mood, this song exemplifies Haggard's ability to craft immersive auditory experiences that linger long after the final note fades.
