Kishore Kumar Hits — Anna Tivel - Velvet Curtain текст песни

Исполнитель: Anna Tivel

альбом: The Question

I swept up the garbage, the cups and the wrappers
The theatre was empty, the crowd had gone home
A circle of dust in the light from the rafters
The wooden broom handle a microphone
And I sang to the dark rows all velvet and empty
The curtain majestic in folds to the floor
I sang so the angels would never forget me
The rush of their robes as they rose up for more
The night circled in like a dog in the alley
All matted and skinny and face full of hurt
And the theatre still ringing with lost dreams of glory
The echoing voices of some brighter world
And I sang to the mezzanine, the gold-plated ceiling
The orchestra spinning, the bright chandelier
I sang so the angels would feel what I'm feeling
An empty so deep I'm afraid I'm not here
The last note it lingered, the dust settled round me
A silence so heavy it cut to the bone
And deep in the shadows the rustle of clapping
I rushed to the back rows still holding the broom
And a man who had crept in, all haggard and dirty
A bag of belongings and tears in his eyes
"I'll never forget this," he said as he left me
"I needed to hear someone singing tonight."
I swept up the garbage, the cups and the wrappers
The theatre was empty, the crowd had gone home
A circle of dust in the light from the rafters
A wooden broom handle a microphone
