letra de you came to me this morning - philip glass
1. you came to me this morning
and you handled me like meat.
you´d have to live alone to know
how good that feels, how sweet.
my mirror twin, my next of kin,
i´d know you in my sleep.
and who but you would take me in
a thousand kisses deep?
2. i loved you when you opened
like a lily to the heat.
i´m just another snowman
standing in the rain and sleet,
who loved you with his frozen love
his second-hand physique –
with all he is, and all he was
a thousand kisses deep.
3. all soaked in s-x, and pressed against
the limits of the sea:
i saw there were no oceans left
for scavengers like me.
we made it to the forward deck
i blessed our remnant fleet –
and then consented to be wrecked
a thousand kisses deep.
4. i know you had to lie to me,
i know you had to cheat.
but the means no longer guarantee
the virtue in deceit.
that truth is bent, that beauty spent,
that style is obsolete –
ever since the holy spirit went
a thousand kisses deep.
5. (so what about this inner light
that´s boundless and unique?
i´m slouching through another night
a thousand kisses deep.)
6. i´m turning tricks; i´m getting fixed,
i´m back on boogie street.
i tried to quit the business –
hey, i´m lazy and i´m weak.
but sometimes when the night is slow,
the wretched and the meek,
we gather up our hearts and go
a thousand kisses deep.
7. (and fragrant is the thought of you,
the file on you complete –
except what we forgot to do
a thousand kisses deep.)
8. the ponies run, the girls are young,
the odds are there to beat.
you win a while, and then it´s done –
your little winning streak.
and summoned now to deal
with your invincible defeat,
you live your life as if it´s real
a thousand kisses deep.
9. (i jammed with diz and dante –
i did not have their sweep –
but once or twice, they let me play
a thousand kisses deep.)
10. and i´m still working with the wine,
still dancing cheek to cheek.
the band is playing “auld lang syne” –
the heart will not retreat.
and maybe i had miles to drive,
and promises to keep –
you ditch it all to stay alive
a thousand kisses deep.
11. and now you are the angel death
and now the paraclete;
and now you are the savior’s breath
and now the belsen heap.
no turning from the threat of love,
no transcendental leap –
as witnessed here in time and blood
a thousand kisses deep.
