Tintin in Tibet歌词

[00:00.82]I sing to you
[00:04.37]I sing to you Geneviève
[00:08.17]I sing to you
[00:11.53]You don't exist
[00:15.88]I sing to you though
[00:29.51]When I address you who am I talking to
[00:37.25]Standing in the front yard like an open wound
[00:42.86]Repeating I love you to who
[01:00.82]I recorded all these songs about the weird echoes in our house now
[01:07.39]And then I walked out the door to play them on a stage
[01:13.83]But I sing to you
[01:19.91]I picture you
[01:22.71]When we first met you were 22
[01:25.93]And I drove my truck onto the ferry to victoria in the morning
[01:31.55]Where we met and talked forever in your apartment with evening falling
[01:37.02]So I brought my blankets in
[01:39.26]And slept on the floor right next to your bed
[01:42.51]In the morning barely awake I saw you standing right above me
[01:48.12]Peeling an orange and looking hungry
[01:51.10]Do you want some you asked me
[01:53.36]And then just avalanched into me with pieces of orange
[01:57.99]And weight and kissing and certainty
[02:04.07]I remember you a few days later in Torino
[02:09.04]Where we'd driven to play a show you'd set up
[02:12.31]For us at a surf shop to no one
[02:15.98]Then we slept in the back of my truck
[02:18.72]And got woken up by the cops
[02:21.13]Then went down to the fishing boat dock to ask whoever for a ride
[02:27.06]Across the water to Meares Island to just get left there for the day
[02:32.70]And we did and brought some food to eat and went through the big trees
[02:37.41]Abandoned and in love totally insane apart from the rest of the world
[02:44.13]We had finally found each other in the universe
[02:49.72]Lying on the rocks waiting for the boat to come pick us up
[02:54.56]I read the one book we had with us aloud
[02:58.02]With my head on your lap sinking into you
[03:03.05]Tinting in Tibet in French
[03:06.12]And we thought of devotion and snow
[03:08.67]And distant longing in the Himalayan air
[03:13.16]High and cold with a bell ringing out
[03:27.40]Then right before you died thirteen years later in our house
[03:32.80]I remember through your gasping for oxygen
[03:37.11]You explained that you'd been thinking about that high cold air
[03:43.04]Wrapping the globe singing above the mountains of the gods
[03:55.97]And I do picture you there molecules dancing
[04:07.93]But I'd rather you were in the house watching
[04:10.89]The unfolding everyday life of this good daughter we made
[04:16.07]Instead of being scattered by the wind for no reason
[04:24.79]So I sing to you
