Such A Small Love

Such A Small Love - Scott Walker (斯科特.沃克)

Mist falls and his voice cracks from the morning

Flowers and my body feels like lead

Someone should have stopped the birds from singing today

Hammers from striking nails into clay

Her face penetrates the blue gray morning

Her eyes pregnant pools produce a tear

Someone should have shouted you had gone in her ear

That summer was stolen away

Such a small love such a little tear

You would laugh so loud if you could see us here

With my one suit badly pressed and worn

Like a child left in the world alone

He speaks I don't hear a word he's saying

Hang on to the pine trees and the snow

Reach out grab the memories that are left for your hand

They'll help you get by for a while

Such a small love such a little tear

Is this all that's left on your cheek so pale

His shallow half lit eyes his rotted teeth groan on

Our drunken madmen nights ending up in jail

Midnight mornings drenched in Dago red*

Words collided things we left unsaid

Perfumed pillows girls that clung so near

Such a small love such a little tear
