Rhymes Of Goodbye

Tradução

Scott Walker

Compositor: Scott Walker, Noel Scott Engel

I've come far from chains, from metal and stone
From makeshift designs, I'm seeking a star
To grab for the truth, to keep myself warm
I turn, and it's gone, you smile and it's born

The rhymes of a women, a river that never ends
The rhymes of dimension, surrounds us with fire and friends
And roaring through darkness, the night children fly
I still hear them singing the rhymes of goodbye

There's nothing within, but within, says a voice
That's still my empire, and I've got a choice
It's heedless of death, it still got a fire
And I keep it burning, with hands of desire

The bells of our senses can cost us our pride
Can toll out the boundaries that level our lives
Can slash like the sunlight through shutters and cracks
Our nakedness calling, our nakedness back

The rhyme of our passions find beauty in loving love
The rhyme of our madness burn cities and push and shoves
And roaring through darkness, the night children fly
I still hear them singing the rhymes of goodbye
