《Geraldine》歌词

[00:00:41] Listen all your lovers

[00:00:45] And would be lovers to my tale

[00:00:51] The moral of the story is not hidden

[00:01:00] Though there are some lies

[00:01:03] Along the way to disguise the details

[00:01:08] The broad stroke of this picture

[00:01:15] Shall render it's true meaning

[00:01:30] I first collided with Geraldine

[00:01:34] On a Tuesday I believe

[00:01:39] It was so very long ago

[00:01:42] Still I remember

[00:01:48] She just drifted by my window

[00:01:52] While I was pretending to be me

[00:01:57] Not yet realizing

[00:01:59] I was already forever changed

[00:02:03] By seeing her

[00:02:07] Into the cafe on the street

[00:02:11] Where the faux French

[00:02:13] Girls fake their slang

[00:02:17] While trying to sink

[00:02:19] Their teeth into each other

[00:02:26] And all of them so dainty

[00:02:30] They must fan themselves all day

[00:02:36] Claiming the breath of the walking

[00:02:39] Deathly homesick G I

[00:02:42] Sufferers

[00:02:50] Geraldine sat alone of course

[00:02:54] Nobody knew her name

[00:02:59] But I watched her from

[00:03:01] A field of wallflowers

[00:03:08] I can't remember why I ever started hanging

[00:03:14] Around that place

[00:03:18] All anybody ever did was

[00:03:21] Dream of dreary California

[00:03:27] The second time I saw Geraldine

[00:03:32] She asked me for a light

[00:03:36] She was trying to read a map

[00:03:40] In a shattered doorway

[00:03:46] I asked where she was running to

[00:03:50] Or from or was it who

[00:03:55] She asked if I was talking back

[00:04:01] Or moving forward

[00:04:49] Soon we were doing everything

[00:04:53] We could do to fall in love

[00:04:58] We tumbled from the trees into the water

[00:05:07] For awhile we were as close

[00:05:11] As the light bulb and the moth

[00:05:17] Bouncing off a wall as it grew hotter and hotter

[00:05:26] But one day I was tempted

[00:05:30] By a fleeting song I heard

[00:05:35] Whispered from the mouth of a passing stranger

[00:05:44] Who said everything happens

[00:05:49] For a reason and I deferred

[00:05:53] Not yet realizing

[00:05:55] I was already very much in danger

[00:06:08] The walls were yellow and thin

[00:06:11] And there was no window I could open

[00:06:15] And she just laughed into her pillow

[00:06:21] Until she cried

[00:06:23] And because it was a loathsome thing

[00:06:31] I did it once again

[00:06:35] With a mirth that was disposable

[00:06:40] And a lament I couldn't hide

[00:06:45] When the stranger disappeared

[00:06:48] I couldn't stomach my face

[00:06:54] What will I do now

[00:06:57] That I have betrayed Geraldine

[00:07:03] I cowered through the market

[00:07:07] And purchased every angry grape

[00:07:12] And made a wine so bitter

[00:07:16] Even the drunkards appeared clean

[00:07:26] I woke up on a Sunday

[00:07:30] And Geraldine was boiling milk

[00:07:35] You've been far away

[00:07:37] She said as if convincing me

[00:07:44] I am further still I said

[00:07:48] Than you may really want to know

[00:07:54] She raised a finger to her lips to say

[00:07:59] I should be listening

[00:08:03] I've been where you stand she said

[00:08:06] Once I was woeful and careless

[00:08:12] But I believe everything

[00:08:15] Happens for a reason

[00:08:22] Well there it is again I thought

[00:08:26] And ready to confess

[00:08:31] But she said

[00:08:32] Only the guilty are ever really innocent

[00:08:38] But she said

[00:08:42] Only the guilty are ever really innocent
