Noa Mercier

Noa, Noa, Noa Mercier
You are, you are, the blood that flows through me
Flowing, flowing, flowing down the blue Danube
Noa, Noa, through the heart of an empire
Noa, Noa, sugar, tobacco
Under under, cinnamon, apples
Glowing glowing, cast monsters on the mezzanine
Noa Noa, why were you so kind to me?
Noa Noa, don’t let them have my bones
Poor Mr Charles
Poor mister Charlie Byrnes
Oh, how I long, oh how I long to see
The Killowen evergreens
Noa Noa, Noa Mercier
I never thought I could feel taller
Taller, taller, taller than the mighty spruce
Noa, Noa, or firs of Kalkalpen
Noa Noa, when you fell from the podium
Into flaming petroleum
You said you saw, me swimming in a black ocean
Noa, Noa, what did you mean?
Noa Noa, I am afraid to die
Was never one, was never one for heights
Until you lay, until you lay beside me
So won’t you hold, so won’t you hold me again Noa?
Noa, Noa, Noa Mercier I love you
Noa Noa, I am afraid to die
Was never one, was never one for heights
So won’t you hold, so won’t you hold me again Noa?
Noa Noa, oh I long to see
The Killowen evergreens
