Favourite Hour - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

Figure hanging on a leather band[00:00:26]

Cog consults the watch he cups in his hand[00:00:33]

Bejewelled movement measures lost and vanished time[00:00:40]

Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold earth and quicklime[00:00:48]

So stay the hands arrest the time[00:00:56]

Till I am captured by your touch[00:01:01]

Blessings I don't count[00:01:05]

Small mercies and such[00:01:10]

The flags may lower as we approach the favourite hour[00:01:14]

Now there's a tragic waste of brutal youth[00:01:27]

Strip and polish this unvarnished truth[00:01:34]

The tricky door that gapes beneath the ragged noose[00:01:42]

The crippled verdict begs again for the lamest excuse[00:01:51]

So stay the hands arrest the time[00:01:59]

Till I am captured by your touch[00:02:04]

Blessings I don't count[00:02:08]

Small mercies and such[00:02:13]

The flags may lower as we approach the favourite hour[00:02:17]

Put out my eyes so I may never spy[00:02:34]

Waving branches as they're waving goodbye[00:02:42]

Their vile perfume brings to my mouth a bitter taste[00:02:49]

The murmuring brooks had best speak up it's a terrible waste[00:02:58]

So stay the hands arrest the time[00:03:07]

Till I am captured by your touch[00:03:12]

Blessings I don't count[00:03:17]

Small mercies and such[00:03:22]

The flags may lower as we approach the favourite hour[00:03:26]
