《Song For Memory》歌词

[00:00:00] Song For Memory - The Once

[00:00:10] The old men are proud

[00:00:14] Of the songs that they've picked

[00:00:19] Hummin' in time where

[00:00:23] The words come unfixed

[00:00:27] Just five kings left

[00:00:30] Only four can turn tricks

[00:00:35] The tallow is burning a bed for the wicks

[00:00:43] Some get it right while some make mistakes

[00:00:47] Some hear the chorus some only the breaks

[00:00:51] When singing the verse through the sips that he takes

[00:00:57] And some close their eyes as their memories ache

[00:01:11] A full house is five men

[00:01:15] But very few glances

[00:01:19] Shuffle the cards and

[00:01:24] Hand out the chances

[00:01:28] One knight to the queen while the clock still advances

[00:01:36] And pondering time in long empty trances

[00:01:44] Stuck in a town where your reach meets the view

[00:01:48] Where the dreams that you held were both fleeting and few

[00:01:52] They crackle like fire on their way up the floor

[00:01:57] Well each day you're working and weeks and you're due

[00:02:00] And it's row upon row of the people you know

[00:02:09] And it's row upon row of the people you know

[00:02:18] Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung

[00:02:22] Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung

[00:02:27] No head goes unnodded

[00:02:32] No head goes unhung

[00:02:36] And the time to head home has long ago come

[00:02:45] The current runs high and are filling their lungs

[00:02:53] Song goes around like a back final tongue

[00:03:00] Everytime in the corner

[00:03:05] Its neck left unstrung

[00:03:09] And the girl at the bar is impossibly young

[00:03:18] Smiling bright as the clock strikes a quarter past one

[00:03:22] And it's row upon row of the people you know

[00:03:30] And it's row upon row of the people you know

[00:03:39] And it's row upon row of the people you know

[00:03:48] Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung

[00:03:52] Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung

[00:03:56] Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung
