Cocteau Twins
Mud And Dark
Echo fell in love with the handsome Narcissus
Narcissus saw nymphs who adored him
And was oblivious to their affection
"Is anyone here?"
"Here here!"
"Come!"
"Come!"
"I will die before I give you power over me!"
"I give you power over me!"
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
(all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
Still repeating only what others have said
(still repeating only what others have said)
Naricissus leaned over a clear pool
For a drink and fell hoplessly
In love with his own reflected image
Consumed by the futile desire to have his own affection
Returned, Narcissus slowly wasted away
And didn't continue to love me
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
(all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
Still repeating only what others have said
(still repeating only what others have said)
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
(all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
Still repeating only what others have said
(still repeating only what others have said)
When death eventually overtook him as he said
His final "Farewell, farewell" to his own image
She repeated these same words to him
And Echo's flesh also wasted away
And her bones turned to stone
Today, all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
"Is anyone here?"
"Here, here!"
"Come!"
"Come!"
"I will die, before I give you power over me!"
"I give you power over me."
