THE WAR IS OVER (sleepers) (epilogue)
|
(Scott Walker/Ady Semel)
|
|
Everything still
|
everything silent
|
as after the rain
|
|
We lie here listening
|
to night close down
|
|
Stare like a child
|
wait for the signs to decide
|
once again
|
|
Just when they looked here
|
to stay
|
we're to leave
|
our world arraign
|
it really isn't fair
|
|
Outside they sing
|
the war is over
|
raise your blinds
|
the war is over
|
tell your deepest dark
|
goodbye
|
|
A distant waltz
|
turns in the head
|
of an old lady's night
|
waiting hands unfold
|
within the dark
|
|
Lighting her lamp
|
seeing Prince Albert
|
recalling the sight
|
they waltz again through the park
|
floorboards creak
|
beneath the moon
|
the room below just sighs
|
|
Outside they sing
|
the war is over
|
raise your blinds
|
the war is over
|
let me get some sleep
|
tonight
|
|
Everything still
|
everything silent
|
as after the rain
|
|
still we are after
|
the rain
|
|
|
