A stone rolls down from the mountains
Sisyphus pushes it up
A stone rolls down from the mountains
Sisyphus pushes it up

A stone rolls down from the mountains
Sisyphus pushes it up
Sisyphus sings:
A stone flies up over the mountains

Watt ( more Birds )




We shall be here all night,
Be here all night shall we,
All night we shall be here,
Here all night we shall be,
One dark, one still, one breath,
Night here, here we, we night,
One fleeing, fleeing to rest,
One resting on the flight.

where the walls were painted grey- blue and yellow ochre
 and the sun shone in  from the garden instead of the sea
