Текст песни «The calender hung itself»
Исполнитель: Bright Eyes
Текст
Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning
when you start to raise your head?
And does he sing to you incessantly
from the space between your bed and wall?
Does he walk around all day at school
with his feet inside your shoes?
Looking down every few steps
to pretend he walks with you.
Does he know that place below your neck
that is your favorite to be touched
And does he cry through broken sentences
like I love you far too much?
Does he lay awake
listening to your breath?
Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes.
Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?
For every speck of tile there are a thousand more
That you won’t ever see
but most hold inside yourself eternally.
I drug your ghost across the country
and we plotted out my death.
In every city, memories would whisper:
«Here is where you rest.»
I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees
And I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
I kissed a girl with a broken jaw
that her father gave to her.
She had eyes bright enough to burn me.
They reminded me of yours.
In a story told she was a little girl
in a red-rouge, sun-bruised field
and there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed.
And it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands.
And it stretched for centuries
to a diary entry’s end where I wrote,
You make me happy whoa! When the skies are gray
You make me happy whoa! The skies are gray and gray and gray.
Well the clock’s heart it hangs inside its open chest with its hands
Stretched towards the calendar hanging itself
but I will not weep for those dying days.
For all the ones who have left
there are a few that stayed.
And they found me here and pulled me
from the grass where I was laid.
