The Three Degrees - Requiem paroles de (lyrics)
[The Three Degrees - Requiem paroles de lyrics]
When you came to me there
In that old telephone pole out of the night
And I rushed right down to meet
You and that silky thing
And sat down on a porch swing
Oh, and I knew the moon would melt
Before I held it to my breast like that again
Why couldn't I die then so warm
Behind the curtains of your arms
When you stopped the clock on that cold rock
And mix the hot young blood with granite dust
Then I raise my head just to kiss the sweat
They clung like honey from your garnet brow
Ooh, and I knew the mountainside would be
A million years of dusted rust before
You took me up there again
So tell me why couldn't I die then
I was warm behind the curtains of your arms
Instead I was found dead
But well carrying on my life
With my dusk glow and dear friends
Buried without a casket
And no one who writes my epitaph
'Cos I know that I'm still breathing
And they think that means I'm still alive
I'm still alive
And I knew the mountainside would be
A million years of dusted rust before
You took me up there again
Why could I not die then warm
Behind the curtains of your arms
Why could I not die then
As seems it doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really, no
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
In that old telephone pole out of the night
And I rushed right down to meet
You and that silky thing
And sat down on a porch swing
Oh, and I knew the moon would melt
Before I held it to my breast like that again
Why couldn't I die then so warm
Behind the curtains of your arms
When you stopped the clock on that cold rock
And mix the hot young blood with granite dust
Then I raise my head just to kiss the sweat
They clung like honey from your garnet brow
Ooh, and I knew the mountainside would be
A million years of dusted rust before
You took me up there again
So tell me why couldn't I die then
I was warm behind the curtains of your arms
Instead I was found dead
But well carrying on my life
With my dusk glow and dear friends
Buried without a casket
And no one who writes my epitaph
'Cos I know that I'm still breathing
And they think that means I'm still alive
I'm still alive
And I knew the mountainside would be
A million years of dusted rust before
You took me up there again
Why could I not die then warm
Behind the curtains of your arms
Why could I not die then
As seems it doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really, no
It doesn't really matter when
It doesn't really matter when
