| [00:10.46] |
I believe that you heard your master sing |
| [00:15.46] |
when I was sick in bed. |
| [00:18.86] |
I suppose that he told you everything |
| [00:23.06] |
that I keep locked away in my head. |
| [00:27.13] |
Your master took you travelling, |
| [00:31.31] |
well at least that's what you said. |
| [00:35.38] |
And now do you come back to bring |
| [00:39.28] |
your prisoner wine and bread? |
| [00:45.08] |
|
| [00:49.84] |
You met him at some temple, where |
| [00:53.41] |
they take your clothes at the door. |
| [00:57.44] |
He was just a numberless man in a chair |
| [01:01.55] |
who'd just come back from the war. |
| [01:04.50] |
And you wrap up his tired face in your hair |
| [01:09.34] |
and he hands you the apple core. |
| [01:13.18] |
Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare |
| [01:17.12] |
of all the kisses we put on some time before. |
| [01:23.70] |
|
| [01:27.33] |
And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk |
| [01:31.29] |
with a collar of leather and nails, |
| [01:35.13] |
and he never once made you explain or talk |
| [01:39.10] |
about all of the little details, |
| [01:43.03] |
such as who had a word and who had a rock, |
| [01:47.04] |
and who had you through the mails. |
| [01:50.82] |
Now your love is a secret all over the block, |
| [01:54.69] |
and it never stops not even when your master fails. |
| [01:59.47] |
|
| [02:04.85] |
And he took you up in his aeroplane, |
| [02:08.62] |
which he flew without any hands, |
| [02:12.52] |
and you cruised above the ribbons of rain |
| [02:16.51] |
that drove the crowd from the stands. |
| [02:20.32] |
Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane |
| [02:23.51] |
and, an ape with angel glands, |
| [02:28.32] |
erased the final wisps of pain |
| [02:32.16] |
with the music of rubber bands. |
| [02:38.79] |
|
| [02:42.61] |
And now I hear your master sing, |
| [02:46.29] |
you kneel for him to come. |
| [02:50.33] |
His body is a golden string |
| [02:54.18] |
that your body is hanging from. |
| [02:58.19] |
His body is a golden string, |
| [03:02.44] |
my body has grown numb. |
| [03:06.00] |
Oh now you hear your master sing, |
| [03:09.75] |
your shirt is all undone. |
| [03:14.93] |
|
| [03:20.00] |
And will you kneel beside this bed |
| [03:23.91] |
that we polished so long ago, |
| [03:27.81] |
before your master chose instead |
| [03:31.65] |
to make my bed of snow? |
| [03:35.72] |
Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red |
| [03:39.48] |
and you're speaking far too low. |
| [03:43.22] |
No I can't make out what your master said |
| [03:47.45] |
before he made you go. |
| [03:52.24] |
|
| [03:57.55] |
Then I think you're playing far too rough |
| [04:01.32] |
for a lady who's been to the moon; |
| [04:05.40] |
I've lain by this window long enough |
| [04:09.18] |
to get used to an empty room. |
| [04:13.14] |
And your love is some dust in an old man's cough |
| [04:17.18] |
who is tapping his foot to a tune, |
| [04:21.10] |
and your thighs are a ruin, you want too much, |
| [04:25.23] |
let's say you came back some time too soon. |
| [04:30.43] |
|
| [04:35.59] |
I loved your master perfectly |
| [04:39.56] |
I taught him all that he knew. |
| [04:43.57] |
He was starving in some deep mystery |
| [04:47.64] |
like a man who is sure what is true. |
| [04:51.43] |
And I sent you to him with my guarantee |
| [04:55.55] |
I could teach him something new, |
| [04:59.55] |
and I taught him how you would long for me |
| [05:03.47] |
no matter what he said no matter what you'd do. |
| [05:08.08] |
|
| [05:13.60] |
I believe that you heard your master sing |
| [05:17.89] |
while I was sick in bed, |
| [05:21.52] |
I'm sure that he told you everything |
| [05:25.23] |
I must keep locked away in my head. |
| [05:29.60] |
Your master took you travelling, |
| [05:33.56] |
well at least that's what you said, |
| [05:37.55] |
And now do you come back to bring |
| [05:41.42] |
your prisoner wine and bread? |
