Before The Bullfight (2003 Digital Remaster) - David Sylvian (戴维·西尔维恩)
I hear your voice way down inside
A whispering sea of towering trees
But no reply
A silence so rare and more than I can stand
Sweeps like a flood
Through life's flesh and blood
And steals away with its heart
If I'm losing you
Then there's nothing more than I can say
The fighting is on and battles are won
Or thrown away
But if I could live safe and sound
In God given fields or mountains of steel
Then here I'd stay till you're gone
Guilty of stealing every thought I own
I will take my turn to fight the bullfight
Every word's sunk in deep
Like the blades of a knife through my heart
But my strenght will return to fight the bullfight
As time's come to show
I'm told nothing more than I should know
A ship on the sea that threatens to leave
But never goes
This island of blue
Where life clings to your hands
Like water and sand will lose its way
When you're gone
When all's forgiven still every fault's my own
I will take my turn to fight the bullfight
Say a prayer for my release
When every hope in the world is asleep
And my strenght will return to fight the bullfight
