van der graaf generator - a plague of lighthouse keepers: presence of the night / kosmos tours lyrics

'alone, alone' the ghosts all call,
pinpoint me in the light.
the only life i feel at all
is the presence of the night.

would you cry if i died?
would you catch the final words of mine?
would you catch my words?
i know that there's no time
i know that there's no rhyme...
false signs find me
i don't want to hate,
i just want to grow;
why can't i let me
live and be free?
but i die very slowly alone.
i know more ways,
i am so afraid,
myself won't let me
just be myself
and so i am completely alone...

the maelstrom of my memory
is a vampire and it feeds on me
now, staggering madly, over the brink i fall.
