Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you - Brad Mehldau & Renée Fleming

Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.
Seal my ears to, and I'll go on hearing you.
And without feet I can make my way to you,
without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you
with my heart as with a hand.
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.
And if you consume my brain with fire,
I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.

music: Brad Mehldau
lyrics: poem by Rainer Maria Rilke
(originally in german, from The Book of Hours : Love Poems to God)
song: Renée Fleming
