[length: 03:53]
[00:13.43]Remember once I told you about
[00:15.98]How before I heard it from your mouth
[00:19.05]My name would always hit my ears
[00:22.39]As such an awful sound
[00:24.94]And the soul, if that’s what you’d call it
[00:28.09]Uneasy ally of the body
[00:31.07]It felt nameless as a river undiscovered underground
[00:37.18]And the first time that you kissed me
[00:39.69]I drank dry the river Lethe
[00:43.00]The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
[00:49.03]But you spoke some quick new music
[00:52.27]That went so far to soothe this soul
[00:55.46]As it was
[00:56.66]And ever shall be
[00:58.51]Unearth without a name
[01:01.64]Some part of me must have died
[01:07.42]The first time that you called me ‘baby’
[01:13.47]And some part of me came alive
[01:19.31]The first time that you called me ‘baby’
[01:25.35]These days I think I owe my life
[01:28.28]To flowers that were left here by my mother
[01:32.73]Ain’t that like them? Gifting life to you again
[01:37.39]This life lived mostly underground
[01:40.65]Unknowing either sight not sound
[01:43.46]’Til reaching up for sunlight
[01:45.81]Just to be ripped out by the stem
[01:49.08]Sensing only now it’s dying
[01:51.87]Drying out, then drowning blindly
[01:55.19]Blooming forth its every colour
[01:57.91]In the moments it has left
[02:00.50]To share the space with simple living things
[02:04.62]Infinitely suffering, but fighting off
[02:08.29]Like all creation
[02:10.36]The absence of itself
[02:12.82]Anyway
[02:13.53]Some part of me must have died
[02:19.25]Each time that you called me ‘baby’
[02:25.50]And some part of me stayed alive
[02:31.42]Each time that you called
[02:34.24]Each time that you called
[02:37.00]C’mere
[02:38.14]Ooh la la
[02:40.52]Ooh la la
[02:43.07]Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
[02:49.31]Ooh la la
[02:52.13]C’mere
[02:52.92]Ooh la la
[02:54.93]Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
[03:01.61]The last time it was heard out loud
[03:04.04]The perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked
[03:08.58]To resignation as the arguing declined
[03:13.20]When I was young I used to guess
[03:16.18]Are there limits to any emptiness?
[03:19.48]When was the last time?
[03:21.85]C’mere to me, when was the last time?
[03:25.44]Some part of me must have died
[03:31.19]The final time you called me ‘baby’
[03:37.14]But some part of me came alive
[03:43.21]The final time you called me ‘baby’
