Song lyrics Marianne Faithfull - Counting
[00:13.66] Now is the glimmering spinning beginning
[00:17.31] Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes
[00:21.97] To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows
[00:25.73] Of night, here with you in my arms.
[00:32.78] This is the moment that pauses to hold us
[00:36.42] As you and I move in a background of wonder,
[00:41.04] Surrounded by countless enclosures
[00:43.92] Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy.
[00:51.11] Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
[00:56.26] And waited, and called out my name by the hour,
[01:00.56] And counted on the wings of my heartstrings
[01:03.65] To carry the sound, I have counted on pleading,
[01:07.71] You see how I need you, come down.
[01:14.08] And now between twilight and midnight I come to you,
[01:18.12] Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight,
[01:22.19] Bright is the evening, the breezes have fenced us
[01:26.33] And nestled against us —
[01:29.92] You're here —
[01:33.57] And warm.
[01:37.59] And mine till the time
[01:39.00] When the dawn will awake you,
[01:41.21] The morning will shake you,
[01:43.32] The highway will take you.
[01:45.12] But now all the rays of the moon making bouquets
[01:51.30] Will swim through the luster of lingering street lights
[01:55.19] We count on the night to hold everything even,
[01:59.26] And count on forgetting that you will be leaving,
[02:02.96] And destiny's folded and then in the dawn you'll be gone.
[02:10.94] But now as the gardens of softening night time
[02:14.71] Are blossoming slowly around where we are,
[02:19.07] You and I come together
[02:21.22] And walk through the dreams of the stars.
[02:27.12] So here while the song of the deepening evening
[02:30.35] Is singing to me from the light in your eyes,
[02:34.75] We can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow
[02:41.51] And know where we've been.
[02:43.46]
