Emiliana Torrini - Next time around LYRICS

Then came question and it was about time

The answer came back and it was alone

The house it was built by so men in around

But water ??? came on his talented son



Who wrote me a dialogue set to two

Always you told me of being loved

Except for the stories about God and you

Do you still live there, in Bufallo



They put up the walls, no more to say

Nobody stopped to ask why it was done

The stream was too far and the rains to high

So into the city the river did rise

Because of the architect the building’s felt all

Smothered and drowned all the seeds that you sowed

I wish I was somewhere but not in this town

Maybe the ocean next time around



I seem to remember the face and the name

But if it’s not you I don’t care

I know of changes, but nothing will change you

To see(?) all the sailor, who sings in his laugh



Then I’ll turn and he won't be there,

Dusky black windows to light the dark stair

Candles will nod in the musty air

Oh, with the flames for as many as the years
