Marianne Faithfull - Counting Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Now is the glimmering spinning beginning

Of something Ive prayed for and counted the minutes

To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows

Of night, here with you in my arms.

This is the moment that pauses to hold us

As you and I move in a background of wonder,

Surrounded by countless enclosures

Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy.

Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower

And waited, and called out my name by the hour,

And counted on the wings of my heartstrings

To carry the sound, I have counted on pleading,

You see how I need you, come down.

And now between twilight and midnight I come to you,

Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight,

Bright is the evening, the breezes have fenced us

And nestled against us

Youre here

And warm.

And mine till the time

When the dawn will awake you,

The morning will shake you,

The highway will take you.

But now all the rays of the moon making bouquets

Will swim through the luster of lingering street lights

We count on the night to hold everything even,

And count on forgetting that you will be leaving,

And destinys folded and then in the dawn youll be gone.

But now as the gardens of softening night time

Are blossoming slowly around where we are,

You and I come together

And walk through the dreams of the stars.

So here while the song of the deepening evening

Is singing to me from the light in your eyes,

We can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow

And know where weve been.
