《Song for Ana Mendieta》歌词

[00:00:00] Song for Ana Mendieta - The New Spring

[00:00:15] It was springtime

[00:00:15] When you went out into the forest

[00:00:22] It's true what they said

[00:00:23] You never needed anybody's help

[00:00:29] You took the wax from the candles

[00:00:31] And poured it unto your skin

[00:00:37] I still can't believe you would go

[00:00:39] And do that to yourself

[00:00:46] I'm happy and waiting

[00:00:48] I'm happy and waiting

[00:00:53] I'm still writing my poetry underneath the moon

[00:01:01] For a year you were gone

[00:01:03] But I got your letters

[00:01:08] I took out the best part and now

[00:01:10] I'll sing it to you

[00:01:15] If we were to imagine a dessert

[00:01:17] It would have thousands of mirrors

[00:01:23] If we were to imagine our hearts

[00:01:25] It would sound just like our feet

[00:01:30] If we were to imagine our children

[00:01:32] They would be dressed up in little bowties

[00:01:38] If we were to imagine a new body

[00:01:40] It would have the shape of a tree

[00:01:45] If we were to imagine a perfect life

[00:01:48] It would just go on forever

[00:01:53] If we were to imagine a new body

[00:01:55] It would have the shape of a tree

[00:02:17] You're like a prayer for rain

[00:02:19] That is answered with a promise of flood

[00:02:24] You're like a longing for peace

[00:02:26] That is answered with a promise of blood

[00:02:32] When the time is right

[00:02:34] When the planets align

[00:02:36] I will carry your remains

[00:02:38] And bury them out in the yard

[00:02:40] Out among all the rosary bushes

[00:02:43] I am walking around

[00:02:45] Like an elephant out in the yard

[00:02:48] We remembered free strongest sound

[00:02:51] We are waiting for someone to stand up

[00:02:54] And wave to us now

[00:02:56] All the skeletons underneath the floorboards

[00:02:59] Are thinking of someone who stood up

[00:03:02] And waved to them

[00:03:04] Like your sacrifice could ever be enough

[00:03:06] When you promised the world

[00:03:08] You would never look up

[00:03:10] At the faded white ribbon

[00:03:12] The moon's yellow light

[00:03:14] That is pulling the blankets from Saturday nights

[00:03:18] Then

[00:03:18] Unraveling slowly a scene in the dark

[00:03:25] You were thinking of someone

[00:03:27] Who called out to you in the dark

[00:03:37] Me my thoughts are flower strewn

[00:03:45] Aglow at night like wild balloons

[00:03:53] The evenings last conversation

[00:03:56] Always heads for the moon

[00:04:02] On the night sky we tumble and meet

[00:04:09] But in the morning we always land on our feet
