《Curtains》歌词

[00:00:00] Curtains (窗帘) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:12] Well Tommy woke that morning

[00:00:18] With a headfull of rocks

[00:00:22] And Sylvia was in shock

[00:00:29] The story they'd been faking

[00:00:35] Had frozen on their lips

[00:00:38] And fallen through

[00:00:41] The brush of fingertips

[00:00:45] And though they packed their bags

[00:00:49] Ready for the road

[00:00:54] The curtains and the bedroom door

[00:00:59] Stayed closed

[00:01:06] For Sylvia and Tommy

[00:01:11] This is a curtain call

[00:01:15] They've been running away for years

[00:01:19] But pride in flight

[00:01:21] Precedes a certain fall

[00:01:30] So Tommy rubs his stubble

[00:01:35] As if to check his face is there

[00:01:39] And Sylvia combs her hair

[00:01:46] Just like nothing really happened

[00:01:50] They'll carry on as before

[00:01:54] But this thing won't work

[00:01:57] Will it any more

[00:02:00] And though the bags are packed

[00:02:03] Ready for the road

[00:02:08] The curtains and the bedroom door

[00:02:12] Stay closed

[00:02:19] For Sylvia and Tommy

[00:02:24] There's nowhere left to hide

[00:02:28] They've been running for years

[00:02:30] To find some kind of thrill

[00:02:34] To take away the emptiness

[00:02:39] That they both feel inside

[00:02:47] Making the fictional

[00:02:52] Out of the matter of fact;

[00:02:58] Masquerade the picture

[00:03:01] But now the frame's all cracked

[00:03:14] For Sylvia and Tommy

[00:03:19] There's nothing left to hide

[00:03:23] They've been running for years

[00:03:25] To find some kind of life

[00:03:29] That offers an excitement

[00:03:33] That the rest of us pass by

[00:03:43] So Tommy woke that morning

[00:03:49] With a headfull of rocks

[00:03:53] And Sylvia was in shock

[00:04:01] This story they'd been faking

[00:04:05] Was frozen on their lips

[00:04:09] And falling through the brush of fingertips

[00:04:14] And though the bags are packed

[00:04:18] Ready for the road

[00:04:23] The curtains and the bedroom door

[00:04:27] Stay closed

[00:04:32] Stay closed

[00:04:37] Stay closed

[00:05:06] For Sylvia and Tommy

[00:05:11] There's nowhere left to go

[00:05:17] They've been running away so long

[00:05:20] There's just no strength to carry on

[00:05:26] They can't get back to what they knew

[00:05:32] A life abandoned once and long ago
