Píseň: Like An Angel Passing Through My Room

Interpret:
Elvis Costello
Album:
For the Stars (with Anne-Sofie von Otter)
Long awaited darkness falls
casting shadows on the walls
in the twighlight hour I am forlorn
sitting near the fireplace
dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
all the outside world subdued
everything comes back to me again
in the gloom
like an angel passing through my room.
Half awake and half in dreams
seen long forgotten scenes
so the present runs into the past
now and then become entwined
playing games within my mind
like the embers as they die
love was one prolonged good bye
and they all comes back to me again
in the gloom
like an angel passing through my room.
I close my eyes
and my twightlight images go bye
all too soon
like an angel passing through my room.
in this peaceful solitude
all the outside world subdued
everything comes back to me again
in the gloom
like an angel passing through my room.
I close my eyes
and my twightlight images goes by
all too soon
