- Wooden Horse (Caspar Hauser's Song) (1987)
-
- I came out of the darkness
- Holding one thing:
- A small
white wooden horse
- I'd been holding inside.
-
- And when I'm dead,
- If you could tell them this:
- That what
was wood became alive,
- What was wood became alive.
-
- And in the night the walls disappeared.
- In the day they returned.
- "I
want to be a rider like my father"
- Were the only words I could say.
-
- And when I'm dead,
- If you could tell them this:
- That what was wood became alive.
-
- Alive...
- And I fell under
- A moving piece of the sun.
- Freedom.
-
- I came out of the darkness
- Holding one thing.
- I know I have this power.
- I'm afraid I may be killed.
-
- And when I'm dead,
- If you could tell them this:
- That what was wood became alive,
- What was wood became alive.
