Текст песни Falling Through Time - Don McLean

Falling Through Time

I can’t answer the questions you ask me,\nI don’t know what to say.\nThe answers are somewhere lost in the stars\nwhen the night has turned to day.\nBut I know if the silence of night could be here,\nIt would drift through my soul and calm all my fear\nAnd I could reach out and draw you so near to me\nTouch me and warm me and I will lie still.\nAnd all that you ask me to give you I will\nOne living moment we’ll have for our own.\nA brief flash of time that we spent unalone.\nBut you ask me for nothing and give what you can\nAnd we’re wrapped in a pillow of sleep once again\nAnd my memory drifts through the universe when we are one\nClosely we’re falling through time\nAnd the earth will turn in the silence of space,\nalways in motion yet always in place\nAnd all things will change yet remain what they are.\nAnd far will be near and near will be far\nAnd the ages will darken and blend into time\nAnd all that is poetry will no longer rhyme\nBut our moment together is forever sublime\nFor the time has arrived when we must understand\nThat we’re lost in a void on this sad speck of sand\nAnd nobody knows where we are, no one cares\nAnd the tears that we shed in the dark no one cares\nAnd the madmen who plunder this world for their fame\nHave forgotten that no one remembers their name\nBut time and the universe are always the same\nClosely we’re falling through time
