《Recessional (Album Version)》歌词

[00:10:33] Recessional

[00:10:33] Vienna Teng (史逸欣)

[00:10:33] "It's so beautiful here," she says,

[00:10:33] "This moment now and this moment, now."

[00:10:33] And I never thought I would find her here:

[00:10:33] Flannel and satin, my four walls transformed.

[00:10:33] But she's looking at me, straight to center,

[00:10:33] No room at all for any other thought.

[00:10:33] And I know I don't want this, oh, I swear I don't want this.

[00:10:33] There's a reason not to want this but I forgot.

[00:10:33] In the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder,

[00:10:33] Maybe it means nothing, maybe it means nothing,

[00:10:33] Maybe it means nothing, but I'm afraid to move.

[00:10:33] And the words: they're everything and nothing.

[00:10:33] I want to search for her in the offhand remarks.

[00:10:33] Who are you, taking coffee, no sugar?

[00:10:33] Who are you, echoing street signs?

[00:10:33] Who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover,

[00:10:33] Dark curtains drawn by the passage of time?

[00:10:33] Oh, words, like rain, how sweet the sound.

[00:10:33] "Well anyway," she says, "I'll see you around..."
