letra de half light - antje duvekot

[verse]
in the dimming twilight, you are nearly mine
late in the night when darkness falls
sing it whispered; sing it quiet;
sing it just another time
still i don’t know you at all

but i have seen you in the fairgrounds:
you were spinning untethered on the merry-go-round
boyish joy upon your face
yes, i’ve seen you through the gate
but still i don’t know you at all

[chorus]
hey, hey, james, the season’s getting late
any day now, the snow will fall
and what kind of fool would wait
and just stand nearby the gate
of a boarded-up carnival?

[verse]
we missed the summer, so we picked the lock
you kissed me dizzy on the tilt-a-whirl
spinning and giddy like i’d never been kissed;
punch-drunk high upon the hurricane twist
on the night, on the night, on the night i was your girl
was it the moonshine or the glow of the carousel
or somethin’ i found ‘round the winds of time?
singin’ j. d. and dylan at the top of our lungs—
“country road” and “forever young”—
like holy writ on the tip of our tongues

[chorus]
hey, hey, james, the season’s getting late
any day now, the snow will fall. (the snow will fall.)
and what kind of fool would wait
and just stand nearby the gate
of a boarded-up carnival?

[bridge]
to hold it all together is unequivocally absurd
it’s the mission of a madman and a mission of the words
and maybe, maybe you’re chasing an invisible bird

[chorus]
hey, hey, james, the season’s getting late
any day now, the snow will fall. (the snow will fall.)
and only a fool would wait
and just stand nearby the gate
of a boarded-up carnival

oh, hey, hey, james, the season’s getting late
any day now, the snow will fall. (the snow will fall.)
and only a fool would wait
and just stand nearby the gate
of a boarded-up carnival
[verse]
and i can’t open your locks
with all that i’ve got
here comes the snow
no, i can’t open your locks
with all that i’ve got
and all that i’m not
so i got to go
hey, hey, i’ve got to go
hey, i, i, hey
hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey

i gotta go
