Civil Twilight
(专辑: Reunion Tour - 2007)
My Confusion Corner commuters Are cursing the
cold away As December tries to dissemble The
length of their working day And they bite their mitts off to show me Transfers, deposit change And I
can't stop finding your face In their faces, all rearranged And angry like you never were And I
ease us back into traffic Dusk comes on and I
wonder Why I'm always remembering you At civil twilight For the
most part, I
think about golfing and constantly calculate All the
seconds left in the
minutes, and so on, et cetera Or recite the
names of provinces and Hollywood actors Oh, Ontario; oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh But this part of the
day bewilders me Streets slow down and ice over Dusk comes on and I
struggle Stop to stop, to stop thinking of you In civil twilight Hey, every other hour I
pass that house Where you told me that you had to go I
wonder if the
landlord has fixed the
crack That I
stared at instead of staring back At you, my chance to say something Seemed so brief, but it wasn't Now I
know I
had plenty of time Between the
sunset and certified darkness Dusk comes on and I
follow The
exhaust from memory up to the
end Of civil twilight At civil twilight At civil twilight At civil twilight
