Lifetime (Live)(Live) - Van Der Graaf Generator

作曲：Peter Hammill

I can remember it so well

The bed of roses

Where we lay

The crown of thorns I was so keen to give

Away

All the warning signs ignored the passion's played

I could foresee what was to come

I had a

Sense of what might happen

The river runs and very rapidly becomes a torrent

Sweeping us towards our ricochet

It takes a lifetime to unravel all the threads

That have tied us in these webs of tourniquet

I stake no claim on memory

I stand on ceremonial quicksand

I look for something with solidity to hold

Something lasting something pristine with no sense of decay

Can you remember how that was

Can you remember

It takes a lifetime's understanding of the flow to surrender

Let the current sweep you away

What if I told you I would never let you go

I would hold you every step along the way

It takes a lifetime to unlearn all you know

To give back to things you borrowed for a day
