《In A Market Dimly Lit》歌词

[00:00:00] In a Market Dimly Lit - MeWithoutYou

[00:00:36] The bird that plucked the olive leaf

[00:00:40] Has been circling like a record never ending in my mind

[00:00:45] Where the needle's worn the grooves too deep

[00:00:49] And scratched the wax that's blistered from the heat besides

[00:00:54] So from any movement in the room

[00:00:58] If my cat walked by the arm skipped

[00:01:00] But to my surprise my interrupting cat improved

[00:01:07] A sound already so severely compromised

[00:01:11] The needle's worn the grooves too deep

[00:01:15] The needle's worn the grooves too deep

[00:01:20] The needle's worn the grooves too deep

[00:01:24] The needle's worn the grooves too deep

[00:01:28] I'm a donkey's jaw on a desert dune

[00:01:32] Beside the bush that moses saw

[00:01:34] That burned and yet was not consumed

[00:01:37] She's the silver coin I lost

[00:01:39] I'm the sheep who slipped away

[00:01:40] We pray the fingers crossed

[00:01:43] But you listen patiently anyway

[00:02:03] I wrote a little song for you

[00:02:07] With a melody I'd borrowed put to words that didn't rhyme

[00:02:11] To repeat what you already knew

[00:02:14] As the stones thrown at your window tapped a syncopated time

[00:02:18] You kept a distance out of fear you'd break

[00:02:23] But what good's a single windchime hanging quiet all alone

[00:02:27] The music our collisions would make

[00:02:31] Is a sound that turns the road that leads us back home

[00:02:35] Into home

[00:02:36] The music our collisions make

[00:02:40] The music our collisions make

[00:02:44] The music our collisions make

[00:02:49] The music our collisions make

[00:02:52] I had a rusty spade but I'm not the fighting sort

[00:02:56] If I was samson I'd have found that harlot's blade

[00:02:59] And cut my own hair short

[00:03:01] Then in a market dimly lit I come casually to pay

[00:03:05] You see my coins are counterfeit

[00:03:07] But accept them anyway

[00:03:29] So spare me your goodbyes

[00:03:30] Your waving handkerchief good byes

[00:03:33] Given my tendency to err so on the sentimental side

[00:03:36] I'll spare you my goodbyes

[00:03:38] The truth belongs to God

[00:03:40] The mistakes were mine
