Slow motion in the quiet of your room: |
| [00:45.33] |
so potent is the smell of her perfume |
| [00:48.84] |
that you think she's eternal |
| [00:51.12] |
that you think she's everything |
| [00:55.65] |
-but no-one knows what she is.... |
| [01:00.03] |
Repentance for all you should have said- |
| [01:04.41] |
her entrance seems to raise you from the dead |
| [01:07.74] |
and you think she's really with you |
| [01:09.99] |
and you think she'll always stay. |
| [01:11.19] |
When She Comes (BBC Version)(2005 Digital Remaster)-Van Der Graaf Generator |
| [01:12.90] |
always ready to forgive you, |
| [01:15.24] |
always ready to grant you her mercy |
| [01:18.03] |
but in her own way. |
| [01:21.96] |
When she comes she'll be a stranger; |
| [01:25.44] |
struck dumb you'll try to protest |
| [01:29.97] |
as the drum beats out the danger, |
| [01:33.96] |
too late-you should have noticed |
| [01:38.13] |
that the lady with her skin so white |
| [01:49.35] |
like something out of Blake or Burne-Jones |
| [01:57.84] |
always blocked out the light |
| [02:01.56] |
and shadowed all you owned. |
| [02:15.18] |
Still you think she's forever, |
| [02:20.10] |
yesterday and tomorrow |
| [02:25.38] |
-but no-one knows where she is. |
| [02:30.87] |
Still you swear that you can win her |
| [02:35.19] |
and your prayer is that she'll want you; |
| [02:39.45] |
aware, once a saint, now you're a sinner |
| [02:44.61] |
and your sins are going to haunt you |
| [02:47.46] |
when the lady with her skin so white |
| [02:58.35] |
like something out of Edgar Allen Poe |
| [03:06.87] |
holds your hand so tight |
| [03:10.47] |
and you hope that she'll never let go. |
| [04:12.78] |
Easy targets, easy cross-words, easy life: |
| [06:53.49] |
these key margins leave you balanced on the knife, |
| [06:57.60] |
bleeding darkly. In the end it all comes down |
| [07:01.59] |
to sleazy bargains. |
| [07:04.71] |
That hidden key-you tried so hard to find it: |
| [07:09.18] |
all you can concieve is the effort to be worthy. |
| [07:14.43] |
Even now you need to be reminded |
| [07:17.19] |
that La Belle Dame is without mercy. |
| [07:25.35] |
The lady with her skin so white |
| [07:28.29] |
-you never did quite catch her name- |
| [07:40.56] |
now she holds you in the night |
| [07:44.19] |
and she'll never let go again |
| [08:01.89] |
she'll never let go again |
