Fiddler on the Roof

Waiting is such sweet agony
Ticking off each passing second
Blood drop by blood drop
Measuring each merging minute
Heart wring by heart wring
Counting every heavy hour
Death-Life by Death-Life

Take care to hurry your feet quicker to me my love
Take care for the waiting hour kills and stills
My pulse beats in each nerve knot

Take care and hurry for the life blood gushes away my love
With each waiting minute my ruby lips grow pale
My iris dims

May my last waking second catch you in my weary arms
Hurry my love, hurry, hurry...
Don't bleed me so, don't kill me so!
