EVERYTHING MERGES WITH THE NIGHT
Brian Eno, from album Another Green Word
- -
Rosalie, I've been waiting all evening
Possibly years I don't know
Counting the passing hours, everything merges with the night
I stand on the beach, giving out descriptions
Different for everyone I see
Since I just can't remember, longer than last September
Santiago, under the volcano
Floats like a cushion on the sea
Yet I can never sleep here, everything ponders in the night
Solo
Rosalie, we've been talking all summer
Picking the straw from our clothes
See how the breeze has softened, everything pauses in the night
