Harriet

歌詞

Through the hem of evening Into the flesh of the night You step out to receive them In the bruising light You leave your bed of novels You leave your hovering crown You leave your wit and your mettle And you come down But it's only a minute then Til the hole in the canvas spreads And it grows til there's nothing left So if you even remember Me after all that will come Think of all i intended Not what i've done See me like an arrow Still upon the bow Set to the heart of the target Hanging bright above But it's only a minute then Til the shot is released and sent And lost to the shifting wind Oh they don't know you, not like i do, not like us, harriet But they would love you, just like i do, if they could, harriet Cause what you are, and what you want, are so far apart, and they're travelling on Oh what you are is staggering drunk, but i'll pick you up and i'll carry you off Oh they don't know you, not like i know you, not like us, harriet But they would love you, just like i love you, if they could, harriet
