《Traintime (Live)》歌词

[00:05:47] Along the track the wires are humming

[00:05:47] In bursts of code like far-off drums....

[00:05:47] Fathering the message:

[00:05:47] Further up the line

[00:05:47] Someone's shouting

[00:05:47] Down the passage of time.

[00:05:47] The corridor restrains the window,

[00:05:47] No view without the eye within....

[00:05:47] Bold upon the threshold

[00:05:47] But holding on the line

[00:05:47] We're shouting

[00:05:47] Down the passage of time.

[00:05:47] Relatives speak on the phone, on the train,

[00:05:47] Talking before they have thought to explain;

[00:05:47] Voices pitched wildly on tracks in the night

[00:05:47] Can't pick the pace up -

[00:05:47] Oh let there be light!

[00:05:47] How light becomes the soul!

[00:05:47] You know yourself the centre of attention,

[00:05:47] You see yourself the locus of event...

[00:05:47] I'm sorry if it's painful quarrying the line,

[00:05:47] Stage centre, shouting down the passage of time.

[00:05:47] The corridor retains it's shadows,

[00:05:47] It's secrets compartmentalised....

[00:05:47] Damping down on ambience,

[00:05:47] Damp the teeth and grind,

[00:05:47] Shouting down the passage of time!

[00:05:47] What's there to see or make clear?

[00:05:47] What's there to know

[00:05:47] When the voice is right here?

[00:05:47] What's there to promise or vow?

[00:05:47] What's to believe when the time is right now?

[00:05:47] Relatives spoke on the phone, on the train,

[00:05:47] Talking before they had sought to retain;

[00:05:47] Voices projected, spears in mid-flight,

[00:05:47] Frozen forever...

[00:05:47] Oh let there be light
