Room At Arles 歌詞

Room At Arles - Joe Henry

Just behind that wall I think

She pulls her stockings on

The creaking floor speaks through the door

Of one foot then the other

The curtains wave a flag to say

This afternoon is done

And giving in to evening who has

Beat him like a brother

Giving in to evening who will

Beat him like a brother

Just outside the window

Time has slipped its skin

A fallen glove behind you love

My shadow never moving

The ground will rise to meet me

Right where my knees begin

The sun will slip between them now

To button my undoing

The sun will slip between them now

To button my undoing

Crows and then another crow

Beside me in a tree

Like black shoes in a dusty row

Trailing after me

My hands are wet from walking

But I'm high enough to see

The stars that wait below me

Where my hat has fallen free

Out above the rooftops

The moon is holding sway

A narrow eye low in the sky

Knowing what I'm knowing

I have left the table now

And this is just to say

Every song I've ever sung

Has bee a song for going

Every song I've ever sung

 

Has bee a song for going
