Song | The Last Night of Winter |
Artist | Mia Doi Todd |
Album | Manzanita |
作曲 : Todd | |
Thanks for your letter. It made me feel better. I was down, | |
And it gave me a lift; appeared the Goodyear blimp. | |
The tree out your window is covered in pink snow. | |
You put a few blossoms in the envelope. I didn't know. | |
Now on the sidewalk, outside my p.o. Box, I'm a parade. | |
I'm confetti of fuschia hearts. We are never really apart. | |
You dreamed of me the last night of summer. | |
You dreamed of me the last night of summer. | |
You were coming. I was leaving. We met in the harbor | |
Where whaling ships dock. We threw some rocks. | |
Everyone wanted you. I was not immune to the fever | |
That overtook the cast and crew. I couldn't get to you. | |
But I had a secret, a torch to give you. I stole an hour | |
Or two to share the fruit I grew with you. | |
I dreamed of you the last night of winter. | |
I dreamed of you the last night of winter. | |
(Hidden treasure, buried long ago, of immeasurable gold. | |
I'm drawing a map, connecting the dots, fusing the past to the present.) | |
I must always remember our moments together | |
And believe in magic. It exists just beneath the surface. | |
New York City thinks it knows everything. The buildings, | |
The people threaten to crush your body, your mind, your soul. | |
But you keep writing, and i'll keep writing, and one day | |
The story will be told. All our oysters will unfold. | |
You dreamed of me the last night of summer. | |
I'll dream of you the last night of winter. |
