Текст песни Emiliana Torrini - Next Time Around

Then came question and it  was about time              
The answer came back and it was long                  
The house it was built by so men in rhyme              
But whatever came of his talented son                      

Who wrote me a dialogue set a tune                     
Always you told me of being alone                     
Except for the stories about God and you              
And do you still live there, in Bufallo                    

They put up the walls, no more to say                  
Nobody stopped to ask why it was done                 
The stream was too far and the rains to high          
So into the city the river did run                         

Because of the architect the buildings fell down      
Smothered and drowned all the seeds that you sowed   
I wish I was somewhere but not in this town          
Maybe the ocean next time around                           

I seem to remember the face and the name              
But if it's not you I don't care                     
I know of changes, but nothing would change you       
To Theo the sailor who sings in his lair                   

Then I'll turn and he won't be there,                 
Dusky black windows to light the dark stair          
Candles will nod in the musty air                    
Oh, with the flames for as many as the years
