cherry blossoms

• tindersticks'in 2. albümünün en özel şarkısı. piyanoya vurulan her nota canımıza okur adeta, üstüne stuart abimizde you let me forget again der, biz de onunla beraber unutmayı deneriz ama hiç bir zaman başaramayız
  
  a black television screen
  snow white and black
  deep and open
  splashing against the windows
  looking out onto a three-terrace town
  there's a garden, grey-green
  and cherry blossoms
  
  get in in the morning (all seasons here, saved for a rainy day)
  climb in beside you (a part of a hole)
  watch the clock for half an hour (an orange and its peel)
  it's cold on the outside
  there's steam on the windows (a star in a night sky)
  and i put myself there all the time (a gentle beauty)
  you let me forget again
  
  and i snore on and on
  you let me forget again
  forget how it feels to be wrong
  
  if i could show her completely (funny how everything makes you feel low when you're already low)
  but it comes so drunkardly now (lying on the bed, the lightbulb banging down)
  fall over on my words (get up, pull the sheet from the window, to see the rain still coming down)
  that peace when the door slams (downstairs there's hot coffee, sit down to a cigarette)
  soon shattered [ ? ] (down to the filter, another and down to my last)
  i came so well-oiled (another and my last penny)
  you let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. already up with the larks)
  and i came stumbling through
  you let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. already up with the larks)
  forget what i always knew
