lirik lagu hymns from nineveh - perfume
i recall my mother’s voice
singing solemn hymns of joy
hours in the living room
the clock was ticking
and her perfume
filled the room…
i remember rosie’s eyes
and how a heart could swell
inside the chest of a child
seconds turned to hours when
i came so close that i could sense
her scent filling the sky…
i remember cigarettes and alcohol
sweet 16
and bored 18
raging against the machine
revolutionary dreams
broken hearts and poetry…
i remember reading revelations
the apocalypse coming any time soon
i got so scared
i couldn’t sleep for a year
still, years later, i slept with the lights on
sometimes i still do
(shashe, notwane, chobe)
i remember when i first saw you
you were shining like a highway
leading out of misery
i remember yesterday
when you asked me
in your childish way:
”do you think time will have its way with us?”
and i said: “babe, it already has”
and i remember your eyes
when i said: “life is now or never”
and you said: “babe, i think we’’ll live forever”
and your eyes were so full of hope when you said it
that it made me cry
i still don’t know why
it made me recall my mother’s voice
singing solemn hymns of joy
hours in the livingroom
the clock was ticking
and her perfume
filled the room…
