Carried Away
Last night I drifted down to the docks
The water... glittering and black.
The snow fell lightly and disappeared.
I felt the old ropes grow slack.
I thought I'd dissolve when the beacon revolved.
I just get so carried away.
Once I had a ship, yes I had a map
I had the wind like a tree has sap
I sank into these banks of clay
I get carried
Those rooms were freezing and always dark but where we were never mattered
Your head was golden
There was lightning in your arms and then the glass shattered.
It was noon at midnite.
The day that never ends -
The lamp it whispers and makes amends - everything was more than I took it for.
I got carried away.
Levado
Na noite passada, eu flutuei até os cais
A água... brilhando e negra.
A neve caía leve e desaparecia.
Senti as cordas antigas afrouxarem.
Pensei que ia me dissolver quando o farol girou.
Eu simplesmente me deixo levar.
Uma vez eu tive um barco, sim, eu tinha um mapa
Eu tinha o vento como uma árvore tem seiva
Eu afundei nessas margens de argila
Eu me deixo levar.
Aquelas salas eram geladas e sempre escuras, mas onde estávamos nunca importou
Sua cabeça era dourada
Havia relâmpagos em seus braços e então o vidro se estilhaçou.
Era meio-dia à meia-noite.
O dia que nunca acaba -
A lâmpada sussurra e faz as pazes - tudo era mais do que eu imaginava.
Eu me deixei levar.
