《A Politician’s Silence》歌词

[00:00:00] A Politician's Silence - Belle and Sebastian (贝尔与塞贝斯蒂安)

[00:00:14] The cherry tree is broken

[00:00:17] The maple leaf is brown

[00:00:20] The wind is in the north east

[00:00:23] It's blowing through the town

[00:00:27] Morning is the mother

[00:00:29] She pulls you out of bed

[00:00:32] Noon is like the sister

[00:00:35] No hiding from the threat

[00:00:39] I want you for a lover

[00:00:42] I want you in the dusk

[00:00:45] Your thoughts are deep unspoken

[00:00:48] Buried in your past

[00:00:51] The cherry tree is broken

[00:00:54] The maple is a lie

[00:00:57] The north east wind is building

[00:01:00] The people go inside

[00:01:03] I want to stay in this place

[00:01:06] Where thoughts are warm and bright

[00:01:10] I want to stay by your side

[00:01:13] And listen to your words

[00:01:16] The chaos is unbroken

[00:01:19] All the news is grim

[00:01:22] Feeds into the conscience

[00:01:25] Chase away the dream

[00:01:28] The cherry tree is broken

[00:01:31] The maple has blown down

[00:01:34] The water it is rising

[00:01:37] The power has gone out

[00:01:41] I want to find some respite

[00:01:44] From ignorance and lies

[00:01:47] I run from passing strangers

[00:01:50] I run from evil eyes

[00:01:53] I need to take some shelter

[00:01:56] I look for you in storms

[00:01:59] I know you have a foxhole

[00:02:02] I know it's dark and warm

[00:02:05] I see you in the kitchen

[00:02:08] I see you by the fire

[00:02:12] Absorbing life's great stories

[00:02:15] Drinking from your eyes

[00:02:18] Drinking wine in goblets

[00:02:21] Knees tucked to the chin

[00:02:24] Sitting in a straw chair

[00:02:27] Hair like golden sun

[00:02:30] Love you in the firelight

[00:02:33] Love you in the dark

[00:02:36] Think one day I'll tell you

[00:02:39] That accidents can spark

[00:02:43] A trail of life's destruction

[00:02:46] A fissure of intent

[00:02:49] A comfort blanket hanging

[00:02:52] For every crisis spent

[00:02:55] Think one day I'll tell you

[00:02:58] I'll catch you from behind

[00:03:01] Cover eyes to trick you

[00:03:04] Guessing will decide

[00:03:45] The ash is like my brother

[00:03:48] He took the lazy path

[00:03:51] To summer and the good life

[00:03:54] The last leaf in the park

[00:03:57] A wise old head on shoulders

[00:04:00] On boards of adamant

[00:04:03] He watched us by the river

[00:04:06] He watched us in the dusk

[00:04:09] Ribbons fell from your hair

[00:04:12] They came down from the war

[00:04:15] The drunks fell out of houses

[00:04:18] The food of love would flow

[00:04:22] And just then for the one day

[00:04:25] Beneath the tree of joy

[00:04:28] We were equal in our beauty

[00:04:31] To the sunset girls and boys

[00:04:34] You're too cool to rush in

[00:04:37] Which lover could it be

[00:04:40] A politician's silence

[00:04:43] Will be the death of me
