歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The wine list is a crumpled mess Beneath this velvet evening dress I trace the rim of chipped glass And let the midnight hours pass The waiter hums a fado song To prove that I do not belong [Pre-Chorus] The salt is in the heavy air A ghost of you is sitting there The fado hums a distant tune Beneath a pale and Lisbon moon [Chorus] I could have said a single word The softest sound you ever heard But silence is a golden cage I’m turning down the final page The tide is glinting in the street Where salt and cobblestones will meet [Post-Chorus] Doo-ba-dee, let it be Just a memory for me Doo-ba-dee, stay free Deep inside the Tejo sea [Verse] The lamplight has a gilded hue It reminds me less of you Than of the things I didn't say Before I turned and walked away Your shadow on the tavern wall Was standing steady, standing tall [Chorus] I could have said a single word The softest sound you ever heard But silence is a golden cage I’m turning down the final page The tide is glinting in the street Where salt and cobblestones will meet [Bridge] A modal shift, a sudden change The city feels so sweet and strange We danced around the edge of fire A quiet, disciplined desire Better to leave the glass half-full Than feel the heavy, jagged pull [Hook] Tracing the rim Light growing dim Following a whim Sinking or swim [Chorus] I could have said a single word The softest sound you ever heard But silence is a golden cage I’m turning down the final page The tide is glinting in the street Where salt and cobblestones will meet [Verse] The waiter clears the empty tray The blue of dawn is on its way The cobblestones are wet with mist A phantom kiss I won't resist In dreams where we are still a pair Breathing in that Lisbon air [Outro]
