Gilda by Tomo Nakayama Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a naked kind of silence where there used to be a sound
There are shadows in the corners where you used to be around
Under the weathered China hutch, upon the heated floor
It's a little bit more quiet when I'm walking through the door
[Verse 2]
And a phantom limb will follow you in the middle of the night
And the markings on the windows call your memory into mind
Is our purpose all the same, to keep each other company?
Will our days be so defined by all the empty space we leave?
[Verse 3]
I hope the sunlight covers you wherever you may be
And no strangers there will bother you, I hope you will be free
Under the orange maple tree, across the great beyond
Rest easy and in peace, my friend, from home to kingdom come
Rest easy and in peace, my friend, from home to kingdom come
[Outro]
Thanks for the mornings
And thanks for the nights
Thank you for letting me take care of you
Thank you for letting me take care of you
Thank you for letting me take care of you
There's a naked kind of silence where there used to be a sound
There are shadows in the corners where you used to be around
Under the weathered China hutch, upon the heated floor
It's a little bit more quiet when I'm walking through the door
[Verse 2]
And a phantom limb will follow you in the middle of the night
And the markings on the windows call your memory into mind
Is our purpose all the same, to keep each other company?
Will our days be so defined by all the empty space we leave?
[Verse 3]
I hope the sunlight covers you wherever you may be
And no strangers there will bother you, I hope you will be free
Under the orange maple tree, across the great beyond
Rest easy and in peace, my friend, from home to kingdom come
Rest easy and in peace, my friend, from home to kingdom come
[Outro]
Thanks for the mornings
And thanks for the nights
Thank you for letting me take care of you
Thank you for letting me take care of you
Thank you for letting me take care of you
