Hymns from Nineveh - Perfume şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Hymns from Nineveh

albüm: Sunday Music


I recall my mother's voice
Singing solemn hymns of joy.
Hours in the living room
The clock was ticking
And her perfume
Filled the room...
I remember Rosie's eyes,
And how a heart could swell
Inside the chest of a child.
Seconds turned to hours when
I came so close that I could sense
Her scent filling the sky...
I remember cigarettes and alcohol,
Sweet 16
And bored 18,
Raging against the machine,
Revolutionary dreams,
Broken hearts and poetry...
I remember reading Revelations.
The Apocalypse coming any time soon.
I got so scared,
I couldn't sleep for a year.
Still, years later, I slept with the lights on.
Sometimes I still do.
(Shashe, Notwane, Chobe)
I remember when I first saw you.
You were shining like a highway
Leading out of misery.
I remember yesterday,
When you asked me
In your childish way:
"Do you think time will have its way with us?"
And I said: "Babe, it already has"
And I remember your eyes,
When I said: "Life is now or never"
And you said: "Babe, I think we"ll live forever"
And your eyes were so full of hope when you said it,
That it made me cry.
I still don't know why
It made me recall my mother's voice
Singing solemn hymns of joy.
Hours in the livingroom,
The clock was ticking
And her perfume
Filled the room...
