Television - Carried Away lyrics

rate me

(Verlaine)<br />

Last night I drifted down to the docks<br />

The water... glittering and black.<br />

The snow fell lightly and disappeared.<br />

I felt the old ropes grow slack.<br />

I thought I'd dissolve when the beacon revolved.<br />

I just get so carried away.<br />

Once I had a ship, yes I had a map<br />

I had the wind like a tree has sap<br />

I sank into these banks of clay<br />

I get carried<br />

Those rooms were freezing and always dark but where we were never mattered<br />

Your head was golden<br />

There was lightning in your arms and then the glass shattered.<br />

It was noon at midnite.<br />

The day that never ends -<br />

The lamp it whispers and makes amends - everything was more than I took it for.<br />

I got carried away.
