《When Was The Last Time》歌词

[00:00:00] When Was The Last Time - Robin Holcomb

[00:00:17] When was the last time

[00:00:21] You were the witness to

[00:00:26] The blacks of night blurring into blue

[00:00:29] And the weird grey light

[00:00:31] That washes up and over you

[00:00:34] The heavy blanket lifted strange

[00:00:37] And each fresh breath

[00:00:39] So soft feels new

[00:00:42] Can you name that place right now

[00:00:43] Where the dawn came over you

[00:00:46] Or do you feel you live too far

[00:00:48] From anywhere wild

[00:01:06] I sent ahead some money

[00:01:07] So they'd hold me for a room

[00:01:10] With a window that can open

[00:01:12] Not an easy thing to find here

[00:01:14] Uneven snow is falling

[00:01:16] Somewhere in another town

[00:01:18] The fat wet flakes so lazy

[00:01:20] That they suck up all the sound

[00:01:22] Here they're hanging lights

[00:01:23] And bells for Christmas

[00:01:24] Up and down the streets

[00:01:26] It used to be a desert here

[00:01:28] I know

[00:01:29] I tried to go out walking

[00:01:31] Ahead the sky was burning

[00:01:32] Painted snowflakes on the windows

[00:01:34] Snowflakes painted on the schoolyard

[00:01:37] And the little bells all ringing ringing

[00:01:55] When you stop or finally start

[00:01:57] To take the time to notice

[00:02:00] Every child who's wilding

[00:02:01] Or tangled in the mountains

[00:02:03] Is singing

[00:02:04] Running in the shadows

[00:02:06] If you get up in the morning

[00:02:07] O catch me if you can

[00:02:12] Turn each houseyard to a wild place

[00:02:14] The house too big

[00:02:15] The house too big

[00:02:16] Let each family breathe the sweet air

[00:02:18] In the morning

[00:02:20] Pale doomsayers on streetcorners

[00:02:22] These we shall unbalance

[00:02:24] If you get up in the morning

[00:02:26] I will look you in the eye

[00:03:05] Like many who have gone before

[00:03:07] We've moved so many times

[00:03:09] I chose a small town from the map

[00:03:11] It had the same name a mine

[00:03:14] But when we got there

[00:03:15] There was just

[00:03:15] A pole a tree a field a sign

[00:03:18] Followed at slow speed by a patrol car

[00:03:21] And there's no passing

[00:03:22] Lost towns are dying inside of verdant fields

[00:03:25] O I can show you

[00:03:26] Pale ghost signs flapping in the winds

[00:03:29] I will drive slowly

[00:03:30] How will you recognise

[00:03:32] The place of your birth

[00:03:33] O how many will know

[00:03:35] Of your place on this earth

[00:03:38] I am trying to live like I taught my baby

[00:03:43] Trying to live like I taught my baby

[00:03:46] And I'm going to try to live

[00:03:48] Like I learned from my baby

[00:03:51] Try to live like I taught my baby

[00:03:55] Try to live like I taught my baby

[00:03:59] And I'm going to try to live

[00:04:00] Like I learned from my baby

[00:04:19] The sun comes up

[00:04:21] And the world begins

[00:04:26] We used to lie there sleeping

[00:04:36] Try to live like I taught my baby

[00:04:40] Try to live like I taught my baby to

[00:04:44] And I'm going to try to live

[00:04:46] Like I learned from my baby
