Shells Like Razor Blades歌词
作词 : Tamas Wells
作曲 : Tamas Wells
On those stones there are small
Shells like razor blades
And the blood runs down my toes
And onto the towel and we know
The sandbar will leave with the tide
We swim back to meet bigger flies than I have seen
Gathering over my feet
It’s lighter than ever
I’ll never forget her
Wrapping herself on the ground
Under canvas and metal and pegs that were devils
That bend with the first strike of mine
I could not name all the trees
Not sure if I knew three
Butterflies and Henry James
My memory’s quite good for names
But not for things that we see hiding under leaves
Or the name of certain streets
Or bargains that she sends to me
She’s brighter than ever
I’ll never forget her
Mixed metaphors all the time
Under canvas and metal
and pegs that were devils
That bend with the first strike of mine
Its lighter than ever the dawn in this weather
I never would bother to see
Some things are better imagined
Than severed by circumstances they say
