Darker With The Day
So with that, I thought I'd take a final walk<br /> The tide of public opinion had started to abate<br /> The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk<br /> I could see their frightened faces<br /> Peering at me through the gate<br /> <br /> I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure<br /> Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it<br /> And I thought of my friends who had died of exposure<br /> And I remembered other ones who had died from the lack of it<br /> <br /> And in my best shoes, I started falling forward down the street<br /> Stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd<br /> Love followed just behind me, panting at my feet<br /> As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud<br /> <br /> Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God<br /> I searched through the pictures in a leather bound book<br /> And I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood<br /> And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook<br /> <br /> And babe<br /> It seems so long<br /> Since you've been gone, away<br /> And I<br /> Just got to say<br /> That it grows darker with the day<br /> <br /> Back on the street, I saw a great big smiling sun<br /> It was a good day and an evil day and all was bright and new<br /> It seemed to me that most destruction was being done<br /> By those who could not choose between the two<br /> <br /> Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones<br /> 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cunts<br /> With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones<br /> Counting on their fingers, with a crumbs down their fronts<br /> <br /> I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers<br /> The Camellias, Magnolias and Azaleas so sweet<br /> And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds<br /> You looked so beautiful in the rising heat<br /> <br /> I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns<br /> People carry on regardless, listening to their hands<br /> Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns<br /> Bored and disgusted, to do us down<br /> <br /> Babe<br /> It seems so long<br /> Since you've been gone, you went away<br /> And I<br /> Just got to say<br /> That it grows darker with the day<br /> <br /> All these streets are frozen now, I come and go<br /> Full of a longing for something I do not know<br /> My father sits slumped in the deepening snow<br /> As I search, in and out, above, about and below<br /> <br /> It seems so long<br /> Since you've been gone and you went away<br /> And I<br /> Opened and pray<br /> That it grows darker with the day
