The Memory of Wounds歌词完整版
Goodbye, I will see you in another world
Goodbye, take care, I will see you on the other side
The drinks we drank and the words we spoke last night
The drinks were good but the words didn’t come out right
Letters I didn’t write
Words that you couldn’t even read
I surrender, I surrender, I concede
You look to me for absolution
Some answers, some sublime solution
To what you ask but all I’ve got
Is this bottle and the same bon mots
Sweetheart, you expect me to swoon
Yet darling, am I so wrong as to assume
That the only real memories are the memories of wounds
That the only real memories is the memories of wounds
Once we shared a bed
And all the peculiar intimacies that we shared
Were ours and ours alone
And now they are dust dead monuments
Never to be discovered
And if we shall meet in the street
That old and endless charade we shall repeat
Make believe that we share no regret
Talk about old times
And the subsequent lives and fates of
Minor players in our passion play
And so it shall always be to end this way
In denial and regret and awkward goodbyes
And every time we meet
Something irretrievable will die
Until finally there isn’t much left to sacrifice
We may pass and not look twice
