《Elephant’s Memory》歌词

[00:00:00] Elephant's Memory - Martin Sexton

[00:00:15] Calling calling

[00:00:24] Father wanted to run away

[00:00:29] With the circus as a kid

[00:00:34] Or a teen escape to the priestly way

[00:00:38] And in a way he almost did

[00:00:44] Twelve children 'round the supper table

[00:00:48] Every blessed one is his

[00:00:53] Chanting ten turns 'round the rosary

[00:00:58] The holy circus that it is

[00:01:03] And me I'm looking on

[00:01:04] With elephant's memory

[00:01:06] At that old elephant in the living room

[00:01:12] You know the one we try not to see

[00:01:16] The one who aint gonna be leaving too soon

[00:01:20] Soon soon soon

[00:01:29] He's calling he's calling

[00:01:39] Mother asked me what I'm grateful for

[00:01:44] We make up something one by one

[00:01:49] Father says forgive us sinners lord

[00:01:54] Staring right at me when he's done

[00:02:00] Baby sees the elephant

[00:02:02] Like she sees the steam rising off her plate

[00:02:08] But soon enough she'll fall in line

[00:02:12] And finally learn to look away

[00:02:16] Away away away away away away

[00:02:33] As the secrecy's

[00:02:36] Calling calling

[00:02:43] As the secrecy's

[00:02:45] Keeping the lock on the gate

[00:02:49] Guarding us in our safe place

[00:02:54] Watching and waiting for

[00:02:56] Someone to step out of line

[00:02:58] Enforcing with anti-grace

[00:03:03] All of you keepers

[00:03:06] And wanna be sleepers

[00:03:08] Wake up there's a message so clear

[00:03:13] I saw the elephant

[00:03:15] And I looked him in the eye

[00:03:18] And he begged me

[00:03:19] Not to tell you he's here he's here

[00:03:23] He's here He's here

[00:03:31] He's here here He's here

[00:03:44] And he's calling calling calling calling
