歌曲 | The Bridge I Burned |
歌手 | Elvis Costello |
专辑 | Extreme Honey: The Very Best Of The Warner Brothers Years |
作曲 : Costello | |
I'm walking down times square in the electric daylight | |
The sailors on shore leave stand out in their perfect white. | |
I'm up here with my spying glass at the window of the world | |
For better or for worse - it's a perverse universe, my love. | |
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned | |
Now i know, somehow i don't feel so alone. | |
[the sermon] | |
You mutter underneath your breath - it echoes round the world | |
Everybody comes from nowhere. | |
There is hope, it loops up in the air | |
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned | |
Now i know, somehow i don't feel so alone. | |
You said i used to be handsome if you screwed up your eyes | |
Professors and vampires drank up all the tears i cried. | |
Now there's a bird at my window, he feeds upon the pain | |
And sometimes he sings to me - a mocking bird in the twilight of infamy. | |
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned | |
Now i know, somehow i don't feel so alone. | |
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned | |
Now i know, they've burned one sinner and the others are set to follow | |
Now i know. | |
Now i know. | |
Now i know. |
