marble house

the knife’ın silent shout adlı albumunun bilmemkaçıncı şarkısıdır. jay jay johanson’ın da o güzel sesiyle eşlik ettiği bu hoş parçanın sözleri de şöyledir:


i cut your nails and comb your hair
i carry you down the stairs
i wanted to see right through from the other side
i wanted to walk a trail with no end in sight


the moment we believe that we have never met
another kind of love, it’s easy to forget
when we are all alone then we do both agree
we have a thing in common, this was meant to be


you close my eyes and soothe my ears
you heal my wounds and dry my tears
on the inside of this marble house i grow
and the seeds i slow grow persistant too


the moment we believe that we have never met
another kind of love, it’s easy to forget
when we are all alone then we do both agree
we have a thing in common, this was meant to be


now where’s your shoulder
what is its name
what’s your scent
say it again
if it goes faster can you still follow me
it must be safe when it’s on tv


i raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
i don’t know what to ask for
what has it got for me
the others say we’re hiding
it’s as forward as can be
some things i do for money
some things i do for free
