(Dm C F)
Anemone, anemone, smooth as silk,
(Dm B F)
Round as a mallet, white as milk

(Dm C F)
Anemone, anemone, upon the sky,
Dm B F)
Far above us the moon fly

(Dm Am B F C)
Sleep my darling, oh sleep well and tight,
May(let) the moon guide your dreams through this darkened night.
Sleep my darling, and feel no fear
Know that I always will be here.

Here by your side, my everything
From the fall of dusk till’ the rooster sing.
Here by you side, but I must go soon
Must travel away with the fading moon.

Anemone, anemone, fragile as snow,
Shining, shining with eternal glow

Anemone, anemone, slow as resin
Open up, and let its light shine in

Shine upon your soul and light a burning spark
Grant you warmth and compassion when alone in the dark
Shine upon you with the comfort that I,
Am gazing on the same moon in the sky

And even though I would like to stay here,
The responsibility of a child was just to much to bear
So I can but say that I am sorry that I
Left you to this world, I didn’t event try

Anemone, Anemone, forgive my soul
For being so weak, for leaving such a hole
In your heart where the bitterness Is growing strong
Forgive me my darling, I’ve been in vex for so long

I didn’t send you any flowers when you turned one year
Didn’t console you when you cried, did never dry your tear
Weren’t there when you went to you first day in school
Did never see you grow up, oh the world is so cruel

Cause I where but a covered, but a running craven
A mouse fleeing for its life from the hunting raven
A person in despair, broken, crushed, devastated
Without goal, without reason, I felt suffocated

By your needs and demands, cause I had never
Understood that you would be mine to care for forever
But how in the world could I take care of a life
When I was weak enough to take my own with a knife


Oh, anemone, anemone, smooth as silk,
Round as a mallet, as white as milk

Anemone, anemone, upon the sky,
So far above us the moon fly

Anemone, anemone, protector of the small
May it help you up every time you fall.
