Time`s Arrow lyrics

Artist  : Weakerthans 
Song : Time`s Arrow



 Send "Time`s Arrow" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
Smoke falls. Things are created in the violence
of fire.

-Martin Amis



So you watch the sunrise sinking, and she's
talking in her

sleep. A dream of how alone she was tomorrow when
you

keep all those promises to someone in a mirror
you will find

at your parents' house in 1989. Terrorized by the
ruling

party: calendars and commas. Small request, could
we

please turn around? So you whisper your arrival
walking

backwards to the door. Wonder briefly what it is
you're

hesitating for. All the streets lie down,
deserted in the darkest

part of night, to lead you through the evening to
the light.

Pulled along in the tender grip of watches and
ellipses. Small

request. Could we please turn around?
