Testo Dedication - Anne Clark
Testo della canzone Dedication (Anne Clark), tratta dall'album Psychometry
In broad daylight and a familiar street
The kind where gossips dawdle and nose-to-tail dogs meet
Some bastard with no face lurched out from behind a tree
And tried to kill me
There was toothflash, black leather, the smile of a knife
And I saw the terrified, puffed-out bird of my life
Fly from my hand, so for a long second I knew I was dead
Even though I was still fighting him off
Even though I'd just said, No, no, and then in a flurried muddle
Go on, go on, meaning all I most wanted to do in the world
Had hardly begun before my heart started working again
And I stood there alone, dribbling a little thin blood from one finger
Onto a ringing paving stone
I thought that was it, but then night fell
And the knife became an adder's tongue
Bitterly licking me, slicing easily
Stripping the brain from my open head
Until all I'd begun, half-finished or done
Or wished to be true was gone, all except you
But you were asleep and made no sound
When I left your side without a word
And slipped downstairs to my room underground
A grown-up, like a frightened child
The fire is out at the heart of the world
All tame creatures have grown up wild
The lives I trusted, even my own
Collapse, break off, or don't belong
I leant my head on the windowpane
And the hard-edged garden lit with rain
Shimmering a million knives
The wind caressed them with its painful hand
The fire is out at the heart of the world
All tame creatures have grown up wild
All except you, your life like a cloud
I am lost in now and shall never be found
