《Fellow Traveller》歌词

[00:00:00] Fellow Traveller - John K. Samson

[00:00:00] Rain for the last day that

[00:00:02] I will be known the way that I want them to know me

[00:00:07] Rain for a porter's predictable leads on the darkening stain of my name

[00:00:15] Rain like the morning you left with the international brigade

[00:00:22] A streak of your face at the glass when the train pulled away

[00:00:28] The aspidistra that refused to die

[00:00:36] A miniature camera in a Cambridge tie

[00:00:43] To get that soviet control to crack a smile

[00:00:50] All in our file my fellow traveler

[00:01:09] Sleep for the telephone's silent receiver on

[00:01:12] It's beetle black back in the hall

[00:01:16] Sleep for the bottle that rolled off my desk

[00:01:20] Danced itself out on the floor

[00:01:23] Sleep for the overturned ashtray splayed across an unmade bed

[00:01:31] While I interrogate every word that I ever said

[00:01:37] I fall from buildings into angry air

[00:01:44] Lecture my students in my underwear

[00:01:52] But once I was allowed to dream of you instead

[00:01:59] My dear defected fellow traveler

[00:02:10] How you booked your final passage

[00:02:14] With a passport they paid for

[00:02:15] With a pair of roller skates

[00:02:17] How you dyed your hair and mustache

[00:02:21] Put on a mid Atlantic accent but you couldn't stop the shakes

[00:02:25] When they asked where you had come from

[00:02:28] And you muttered that's a good one

[00:02:30] Though you were never really certain

[00:02:35] Every umbrella down on Portman square

[00:02:42] Opens and closes to arraign our fair

[00:02:49] Theory of something I can't picture anymore

[00:02:56] Forgery for my fellow traveler

[00:03:04] I won't wait to see

[00:03:06] I still believe in you and me my fellow traveler
