作词 : Kushner, Svigals | |
By the time we're done with dancing, | |
Elsewhere darling you'll be glancing | |
And the night's a river-torrent tearing us apart. | |
Merely melody entwined us, | |
Easily the ties that bind us | |
Break in fibrillations of the heart. | |
Don't cry out or cling in terror | |
Darling that's a fatal error | |
Clinging to a somebody you thought you knew was yours. | |
Dispossession by attrition is a permanent condition | |
That the wretched modern world endures. | |
You drift away, you're carried by a stream. | |
Refugee a wanderer you roam; | |
You lose your way, so it will come to seem: | |
No Place in Particular is home. | |
You glance away, your house has disappeared, | |
The sweater you've been knitting has unpurled. | |
You live adrift, and everything you feared | |
Comes to you in this undoing world. | |
Copper-plated, nailed together, buffeted by ocean weather | |
Stands the Queen of Exiles and our mother she may be. | |
Hollow-breasted broken-hearted watching for her dear departed | |
For her children cast upon the sea. | |
At her back the great idyllic land of justice | |
For exilic peoples ponders making justice private property. | |
Darling never dream another woman might | |
Have been your mother | |
Someday you may be a refugee. | |
A refugee, who's running from the wars, | |
Hiding from the fire-bombs they've hurled; | |
Eternally a stranger out-of-doors, | |
Desperate in this undoing world. | |
Mother for your derelicted | |
Children from your womb evicted | |
Grant us shelter harbor solace safety | |
Let us in! | |
Let us tell you where we travelled | |
How our hopes our lives unravelled | |
How unwelcome everywhere we've been |
