Emiliana Torrini Next Time Around Lyrics

Next Time Around Lyrics

Then came question and it was about time



The answer came back and it was alone



The house it was built by so men in around



But water ??? came on his talented son







Who wrote me a dialogue set to two



Always you told me of being loved



Except for the stories about God and you



Do you still live there, in Bufallo







They put up the walls, no more to say



Nobody stopped to ask why it was done



The stream was too far and the rains to high



So into the city the river did rise



Because of the architect the building’s felt all



Smothered and drowned all the seeds that you sowed



I wish I was somewhere but not in this town



Maybe the ocean next time around







I seem to remember the face and the name



But if it’s not you I don’t care 



I know of changes, but nothing will change you 



To see(?) all the sailor, who sings in his laugh 







Then I’ll turn and he won't be there, 



Dusky black windows to light the dark stair 



Candles will nod in the musty air 



Oh, with the flames for as many as the years
