《The Gallery》歌词

[00:00:21] I slept next to your broken wrist and dreamt

[00:00:28] I was a vine

[00:00:32] That grew out of a lover's kiss and wrapped around your spine.

[00:00:43] Will you stay in my life?

[00:00:48] I wish we were tied together sometimes.

[00:00:53] Entwined by a family wine.

[00:00:58] I wish I was your sister sometimes like tonight.

[00:01:05] I'd dry your eyes,

[00:01:07] You'd cough and then smile

[00:01:10] And say you'd be all right.

[00:01:12] Will you be all right?

[00:01:15] I’d trace the tattoo on the back of your neck,

[00:01:19] There's a picturedrawn there of the place you left,

[00:01:24] Where you cannot see it but you can forget.

[00:01:29] It’s there permanently like a badge of regret.

[00:01:44] There’s a row of ocean shells where there should be a garden.

[00:01:54] One for each whispered word you could tell me,

[00:01:59] One for each secret.

[00:02:03] So on shell stars in a dirt sky,

[00:02:08] I wish you’d trade your secrets for mine.

[00:02:13] I’d plant them and in time

[00:02:18] Flowers would bloom and burst through the room where we’d lie,

[00:02:25] They’d cover our eyes,

[00:02:27] I’d be that vine,

[00:02:29] The sun would shine in an endless springtime.

[00:02:34] But for now the flower pots only hold

[00:02:42] cigarette-butts.

[00:02:43] There’s a headstone above the nights we talked.

[00:02:48] There’s a different name whispered in your yard

[00:02:53] But it sounds the same as the one you want,

[00:03:05] And now I feel do overwhelmed,

[00:03:10] I had to sit out by myself

[00:03:15] On the curb beside your house,

[00:03:17] With my collar in my mouth.

[00:03:19] And the feeling that I felt,

[00:03:22] I had to lay them all out

[00:03:24] In chalk-writing on the ground,

[00:03:26] For you to step around.

[00:03:29] And the rain that ends the drought

[00:03:31] And would’ve let our seeds sprout

[00:03:34] will just wash my words out.

[00:03:38] Just wash my words out.
