Pale September

Pale September - Fiona Apple (費安娜·蘋果)

Pale September I wore the time like a dress that year

The autumn days swung soft around me like cotton on my skin

But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared

My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within

But then he rose brilliant as the moon in full

And sank in the burrows of my keep

And all my armour falling down in a pile at my feet

And my winter giving way to warm as I'm singing him to sleep

He goes along just as a water lily

Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats

Unweighed down by passion or intensity

Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts

And he finds a home in me

For what misfortune sows he knows my touch will reap

And all my armour falling down in a pile at my feet

And my winter giving way to warm as I'm singing him to sleep

All my armour falling down in a pile at my feet

And my winter giving way to warm as I'm singing him to sleep

All my armour falling down in a pile at my feet

And my winter giving way to warm as I'm singing him to sleep
