Curtains - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

Written by：Peter Hammill[00:00:01]

Well tommy woke's at morning[00:00:10]

With a headfull of rocks[00:00:15]

And sylvia was in shock[00:00:19]

The story they'd been faking[00:00:24]

Had frozen on their lips[00:00:29]

And fallen through the brush of fingertips[00:00:33]

And though they packed their bags[00:00:39]

Ready for the road[00:00:43]

The curtains and the bedroom door[00:00:47]

Stayed closed[00:00:52]

For sylvia and tommy[00:00:58]

This is a curtain call[00:01:03]

They've been running away for years[00:01:07]

But pride in flight[00:01:12]

Precedes a certain fall[00:01:14]

So tommy rubs his stubble[00:01:22]

As if to check his face is there[00:01:26]

And sylvia combs her hair[00:01:31]

Just like nothing really happened[00:01:36]

They'll carry on as before[00:01:41]

But this thing won't work will it any more[00:01:45]

And though the bags are packed[00:01:51]

Ready for the road[00:01:55]

The curtains and the bedroom door[00:01:59]

Stay closed[00:02:04]

For sylvia and tommy[00:02:10]

There's nowhere left to hide[00:02:15]

They've been running for years[00:02:19]

To find some kind of thrill[00:02:23]

To take away the emptiness[00:02:26]

That they both feel inside[00:02:31]

Making the fictional[00:02:37]

Out of the matter of fact[00:02:41]

Masquerade the picture[00:02:46]

But now the frame's all cracked[00:02:49]

For sylvia and tommy[00:02:58]

There's nothing left to try[00:03:03]

They've been running for years[00:03:07]

To find some kind of life[00:03:10]

That offers an excitement[00:03:14]

That the rest of us pass by[00:03:18]

So tommy woke that morning[00:03:27]

With a headfull of rocks[00:03:32]

And sylvia was in shock[00:03:36]

This story they'd been faking[00:03:41]

Was frozen on their lips[00:03:46]

And falling through the brush of fingertips[00:03:50]

And though the bags are packed[00:03:56]

Ready for the road[00:04:00]

The curtains and the bedroom door[00:04:05]

Stay closed[00:04:09]

Stay closed[00:04:14]

Stay closed[00:04:19]

For sylvia and tommy[00:04:49]

There's nowhere left to go[00:04:53]

They've been running away so long[00:04:58]

There's just no strength to carry on[00:05:02]

They can't get back to what they knew[00:05:07]

A life abandoned once and long ago[00:05:12]
