作词 : Steven Sater
ALICE: A little talk could hold me for a little while
Another brush of whiskers and that distant smile
So little life remaining and the shadows won't contain me
The book of night is closing for the child
ALFRED: I knew you were a strange girl or I thought you were
You mustered all the wonder from the room of hurt
We knew the world of summer
Like a sister, like a brother
And the melodies were sweeter left unheard
ALFRED: We fell down a
ALFRED & ALICE: Hole
ALFRED: Don't you
ALFRED & ALICE: Remember
ALFRED: We fell so fall
ALFRED & ALICE: Below
And never found the center
ALICE: Another word or
ALFRED & ALICE: Two
ALICE: And all the summer
ALFRED & ALICE: Knew
ALICE: In the song of
ALFRED & ALICE: The afternoon
Afternoon
ALICE: You never play September in a winter game
ALFRED: The heart will not remember what it will not name
ALICE: The caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces
ALFRED: But the butterflies go floating all the same
ALFRED: We fell down a
ALFRED & ALICE: Hole
ALFRED: Won't you
ALFRED & ALICE: Remember
ALFRED: We fell so fall
ALFRED & ALICE: Below
We never found the center
ALICE: And who knew what to do
With all I felt for you
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon
