Verdi Cries - June Tabor[00:00:00]
The man in 119 takes his tea all alone[00:00:10]
Mornings we all rise[00:00:19]
To while his Verdi cries[00:00:23]
I'm hearing opera through the door[00:00:27]
Souls of men and women impassioned all[00:00:44]
Voices rise and fall[00:00:52]
Battle trumpets call[00:00:57]
I fill the bath and climb inside[00:01:01]
Singing la la la la la la la[00:01:07]
He will not touch that pastry but every day they bring[00:01:26]
Him more[00:01:31]
Gold from the breakfast tray[00:01:34]
I steal them all away[00:01:38]
And go eat them on the shore[00:01:43]
La la la la la la la[00:01:51]
La la la la la la la[00:01:58]
I draw a jackal headed woman in the sand[00:02:15]
Sing of the lover's fate[00:02:23]
Ruled by jealous hate[00:02:27]
Then go wash my hands in the sea[00:02:30]
In just a few days more[00:02:36]
I'd just about learned the entire score[00:02:39]
To Aida[00:02:44]
Holidays must end as you work on[00:03:12]
All these memories[00:03:19]
I take them home with me[00:03:23]
The opera the stolen tea[00:03:26]
The sand drawings the virgin sea[00:03:31]
Old years ago[00:03:36]
