Emerald and Stone - Brian Eno

Puzzles of pictures all burned up They said we burned up all our luck And Mother and Father, can't be bothered to wake up No, Mother and Father, can't be bothered at all So we grew up in paper towns The perfect place for us to drown And Mother and Father, can't be bothered to be found No Mother and Father, can't be bothered at all Released to my own recognizance Ran straight back to that prison fence Cause when you don't know what's on the out You just wanna get back in Mother and Father, cannot be bothered to break out And since I'm being honest, I think I've always had my doubts Mother and Father Mother and Father Mother and Father, please Mother and Father Mother and Father Mother and Father, please

All the trees stood like skeletons Silhouettes of spilled ink And the snows fell in sheets, and got wrapped around our feet (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) We built the fire evermore, with winter beating at the door (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) Brother's eyes were getting heavier His bony hands cold and white And I could hear his ragged breathing, like the wind along a knife There beside him through the night, in the hum of candlelight (ah, ah, ah, ah) I no longer felt the time Brother woke just after midnight And he didn't make a sound And as he climbed from out of bed with severed rings around his head His feet didn't touch the ground I could feel it then A tiny miracle So I followed him Into the woods Crossed beneath the trees But only I left my prints in tow He was afloat Found a lonely tree And tied himself within its limbs And he said to me these words "Don't you fear for me I am where I'm supposed to be" And when I woke, he was gone And I was wrapped in blankets on the lawn The sky was blue and my skin matched the hue And I could hear mother crying in your room From here on out, I wear this face for both of us

(Don, buz gibi kolların arasında kaldım) (Dinledin ağlamamı, sebep sormadın) (Biliyorum ki gece vaktinde) Don, buz gibi kolların arasında kaldım Dinledin ağlamamı, sebep sormadın Biliyorum ki gece vaktinde uyumadın, onun fotoğraflarına Son defa, bunu bilmek hiç iyi değil ama beni hiç yormak istemediğini Biliyorum, bana gelmez ki, gelir imkânsız Şimdi ner'desin kim bilir Görmedim gittiğini Koşmak isterdim peşinden, kalbin kilitli mi? Sandım ki taşırım, tüm yükü omzumda Hiç gücüm kalmadı, hevesim hâlâ kursağımda Oh, korkarım incittim, tanırım ben seni Kalmak değil hiç benlik, gördüğüm an gerçeği Kaçmayı bırak, hadi, yanıma gel benim, tek istediğim Baby, gel yanıma, alayım seni kollarıma Hayat hain, aşkın zalim, derdine düştüm, yollarına Güvеndim hep dostlarıma, düştüm kurtlar sofrasına Vermiyo'm artık kimseyе taviz, düşmem kalleş oltasına Bu sokaklar yormasın, ha, kal hep sakin, bozmasınlar Ara yollar, zor basamaklar, ayık ol, seni de yolmasınlar Doğmadı sensiz güneş, gece de 5:00, cigara leş gibi Kafam oldum bi' keş ve de leş sensiz zor yaşamak Şimdi ner'desin kim bilir Görmedim gittiğini Koşmak isterdim peşinden, kalbin kilitli mi? Sandım ki taşırım, tüm yükü omzumda Hiç gücüm kalmadı hevesim hâlâ kursağımda Oh, korkarım incittim, tanırım ben seni Kalmak değil hiç benlik, gördüğüm an gerçeği Kaçmayı bırak, hadi, yanıma gel benim, tek istediğim
