Emiliana Torrini - Next Time Around Lyrics
Then came question and it was about timeThe answer came back and it was longThe house it was built by so men in rhymeBut whatever came of his talented sonWho wrote me a dialogue set a tuneAlways you told me of being aloneExcept for the stories about God and youAnd do you still live there, in BufalloThey put up the walls, no more to sayNobody stopped to ask why it was doneThe stream was too far and the rains to highSo into the city the river did runBecause of the architect the buildings fell downSmothered and drowned all the seeds that you sowedI wish I was somewhere but not in this townMaybe the ocean next time aroundI seem to remember the face and the nameBut if it's not you I don't careI know of changes, but nothing would change youTo Theo the sailor who sings in his lairThen I'll turn and he won't be there,Dusky black windows to light the dark stairCandles will nod in the musty airOh, with the flames for as many as the years
