First Time

متن آهنگ

1. Remember once I told you 'bout
2. How before I heard it from your mouth
3. My name would always hit my ears
4. As such an awful sound
5. And the soul, if that's what you'd call it
6. Uneasy ally of the body
7. It felt nameless as a river undiscovered underground
8. And the first time that you kissed me
9. I drank dry the River Lethe
10. The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
11. But you spoke some quick new music
12. That went so far to soothe this soul
13. As it was and ever shall be
14. Unearth without a name
15. Some part of me must have died
16. The first time that you called me baby
17. And some part of me came alive
18. The first time that you called me baby
19. These days I think I owe my life
20. To flowers that were left here by my mother
21. Ain't that like them, gifting life to you again
22. This life lived mostly underground
23. Unknowing either sight nor sound
24. 'Til reaching up for sunlight
25. Just to be ripped out by the stem
26. Sensing only now it's dying
27. Drying out then drowning blindly
28. Blooming forth its every colour
29. In the moments it has left
30. To share the space with simple living things
31. Infinitely suffering
32. But fighting off like all creation
33. The absence of itself
34. Anyway
35. Some part of me must have died
36. Each time that you called me baby
37. But some part of me stayed alive
38. Each time that you called
39. Each time that you called
40. C'mere, ooh-la-la
41. Ooh-la-la
42. Whatever keeps you around
43. It keeps you around
44. Ooh-la-la
45. C'mere, ooh-la-la
46. Whatever keeps you around
47. It keeps you around
48. The last time it was heard out loud
49. The perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked
50. To resignation as the arguing declined
51. When I was young I used to guess
52. Are there limits to any emptiness?
53. When was the last time?
54. C'mere to me, when was the last time?
55. Some part of me must have died
56. The final time you called me baby
57. But some part of me came alive
58. The final time you called me baby
