Curtains (窗帘) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

Well Tommy woke that morning[00:00:12]

With a headfull of rocks[00:00:18]

And Sylvia was in shock [00:00:22]

The story they'd been faking[00:00:29]

Had frozen on their lips[00:00:35]

And fallen through[00:00:38]

The brush of fingertips[00:00:41]

And though they packed their bags [00:00:45]

Ready for the road [00:00:49]

The curtains and the bedroom door[00:00:54]

Stayed closed [00:00:59]

For Sylvia and Tommy[00:01:06]

This is a curtain call[00:01:11]

They've been running away for years[00:01:15]

But pride in flight[00:01:19]

Precedes a certain fall [00:01:21]

So Tommy rubs his stubble[00:01:30]

As if to check his face is there[00:01:35]

And Sylvia combs her hair[00:01:39]

Just like nothing really happened[00:01:46]

They'll carry on as before [00:01:50]

But this thing won't work [00:01:54]

Will it any more [00:01:57]

And though the bags are packed[00:02:00]

Ready for the road[00:02:03]

The curtains and the bedroom door[00:02:08]

Stay closed [00:02:12]

For Sylvia and Tommy[00:02:19]

There's nowhere left to hide [00:02:24]

They've been running for years[00:02:28]

To find some kind of thrill[00:02:30]

To take away the emptiness[00:02:34]

That they both feel inside [00:02:39]

Making the fictional[00:02:47]

Out of the matter of fact;[00:02:52]

Masquerade the picture[00:02:58]

But now the frame's all cracked [00:03:01]

For Sylvia and Tommy[00:03:14]

There's nothing left to hide[00:03:19]

They've been running for years[00:03:23]

To find some kind of life[00:03:25]

That offers an excitement[00:03:29]

That the rest of us pass by [00:03:33]

So Tommy woke that morning[00:03:43]

With a headfull of rocks[00:03:49]

And Sylvia was in shock [00:03:53]

This story they'd been faking[00:04:01]

Was frozen on their lips[00:04:05]

And falling through the brush of fingertips[00:04:09]

And though the bags are packed[00:04:14]

Ready for the road[00:04:18]

The curtains and the bedroom door[00:04:23]

Stay closed [00:04:27]

Stay closed[00:04:32]

Stay closed[00:04:37]

For Sylvia and Tommy[00:05:06]

There's nowhere left to go[00:05:11]

They've been running away so long[00:05:17]

There's just no strength to carry on[00:05:20]

They can't get back to what they knew[00:05:26]

A life abandoned once and long ago[00:05:32]
