Jane Birkin - Anno Close To The River" lyrics

[Jane Birkin - Anno Close To The River" lyrics]

The Tower walls at midnight burn
With fraught desire - the rocks beneath
Are sharp, and wet with fictions blood
Someone leaps, the other turns but who is who
Forget what you want, but
Don't forget the link that grew me
That travels deeply
Through me in the form of every
Thought that I think
The Loathing and the Love
Bubbling together at the brink of my emotion
This commotion started
Long before my face was ever
Etched into the Wall of time
I have both your madnesses inside
I am in constant disagreement with myself
But, I cannot leave me
You both cannot leave me
Nor one-another, believe me!
I am the ring that won't slip off with soap
You've broken the armies inside me


And now they stand poised and opposed
Now there is blood
Now there is love standing, covered in glory
And honour lies covered in mud
You and I, Ma
We built too close to the river
Look at us washing our minds free of fever
Brushing off bird shit and bad dreams forever
And never once turning the tide
Thank you for pains and concerns
That have made me, In turn more
Unhappy and kind
I am proud to remind them of you
