Song | Everyone You Hold |
Artist | Peter Hammill |
Album | Everyone You Hold |
作词 : Hammill | |
Everyone you hold takes a piece of you away; | |
everyone you know pricks the image of the human clay | |
and everybody's laughing – | |
the joke goes mouth to mouth and slips away. | |
Everyone you hold leaves you something of themself; | |
everyone you told spreads your secret on the warehouse shelf | |
and everybody buys it | |
for everyone's in commerce and in trade. | |
When every sweet embrace has faded | |
the voices dip, the faces dim and memory drifts away – | |
still you stay in everyone you hold. | |
Everyone you hold, no, they never leave your side; | |
everybody knows there are secrets we can't hope to hide. | |
If everyone is with you | |
then you can never be alone at all | |
and everyone forgives you – | |
accumulated whispers, Chinese walls. | |
Now everyone you knew | |
with smiles that you've seen through | |
we flag, it's true... | |
But you're still in everyone you hold. | |
Everyone you hold, | |
everyone you hold, | |
everyone you told | |
knows. |
