《It Happened Because You Left》歌词

[00:00:00] It Happened Because You Left - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

[00:03:04] In fall

[00:03:06] The year you grew to be six feet

[00:03:15] I tempered my fear into haste

[00:03:26] A worry that dogged our mother

[00:03:46] She the baby of three asked how

[00:04:00] So many things could take flight at once

[00:04:12] There are no easy answers

[00:04:20] And even thirteen I

[00:04:26] Could not think of a sure reply

[00:04:37] At the church where I was baptized

[00:04:48] Our father refused to park near the crowd

[00:04:56] At that time

[00:05:00] I still believed in god or faeries

[00:05:11] Or that the air could catch on fire

[00:05:39] When you and your friends

[00:05:43] Took off on separate routes

[00:05:47] I wanted to follow you

[00:05:55] But our mother said I was not allowed to

[00:06:04] You had not yet learned how to fill

[00:06:09] Such a broad frame

[00:06:12] That winter you said

[00:06:17] You hated your body

[00:06:21] But when spring came

[00:06:23] You'd learned how to speak

[00:06:29] And you moved out west

[00:06:35] To watch the ocean eat the coast away

[00:06:47] I can still remember that day you left

[00:07:02] Thoughts spilling out from my chest

[00:07:07] Like

[00:07:10] Who will you be when you come back

[00:07:18] Or even

[00:07:21] Will you come back
