A Politician's Silence - Belle and Sebastian (贝尔与塞贝斯蒂安)[00:00:00]
The cherry tree is broken[00:00:14]
The maple leaf is brown[00:00:17]
The wind is in the north east[00:00:20]
It's blowing through the town[00:00:23]
Morning is the mother[00:00:27]
She pulls you out of bed[00:00:29]
Noon is like the sister[00:00:32]
No hiding from the threat[00:00:35]
I want you for a lover[00:00:39]
I want you in the dusk[00:00:42]
Your thoughts are deep unspoken[00:00:45]
Buried in your past[00:00:48]
The cherry tree is broken[00:00:51]
The maple is a lie[00:00:54]
The north east wind is building[00:00:57]
The people go inside[00:01:00]
I want to stay in this place[00:01:03]
Where thoughts are warm and bright[00:01:06]
I want to stay by your side[00:01:10]
And listen to your words[00:01:13]
The chaos is unbroken[00:01:16]
All the news is grim[00:01:19]
Feeds into the conscience[00:01:22]
Chase away the dream[00:01:25]
The cherry tree is broken[00:01:28]
The maple has blown down[00:01:31]
The water it is rising[00:01:34]
The power has gone out[00:01:37]
I want to find some respite[00:01:41]
From ignorance and lies[00:01:44]
I run from passing strangers[00:01:47]
I run from evil eyes[00:01:50]
I need to take some shelter[00:01:53]
I look for you in storms[00:01:56]
I know you have a foxhole[00:01:59]
I know it's dark and warm[00:02:02]
I see you in the kitchen[00:02:05]
I see you by the fire[00:02:08]
Absorbing life's great stories[00:02:12]
Drinking from your eyes[00:02:15]
Drinking wine in goblets[00:02:18]
Knees tucked to the chin[00:02:21]
Sitting in a straw chair[00:02:24]
Hair like golden sun[00:02:27]
Love you in the firelight[00:02:30]
Love you in the dark[00:02:33]
Think one day I'll tell you[00:02:36]
That accidents can spark[00:02:39]
A trail of life's destruction[00:02:43]
A fissure of intent[00:02:46]
A comfort blanket hanging[00:02:49]
For every crisis spent[00:02:52]
Think one day I'll tell you[00:02:55]
I'll catch you from behind[00:02:58]
Cover eyes to trick you[00:03:01]
Guessing will decide[00:03:04]
The ash is like my brother[00:03:45]
He took the lazy path[00:03:48]
To summer and the good life[00:03:51]
The last leaf in the park[00:03:54]
A wise old head on shoulders[00:03:57]
On boards of adamant[00:04:00]
He watched us by the river[00:04:03]
He watched us in the dusk[00:04:06]
Ribbons fell from your hair[00:04:09]
They came down from the war[00:04:12]
The drunks fell out of houses[00:04:15]
The food of love would flow[00:04:18]
And just then for the one day[00:04:22]
Beneath the tree of joy[00:04:25]
We were equal in our beauty[00:04:28]
To the sunset girls and boys[00:04:31]
You're too cool to rush in[00:04:34]
Which lover could it be[00:04:37]
A politician's silence[00:04:40]
Will be the death of me[00:04:43]
