Albéniz: Henry Clifford (Opera in 3 Acts) - Edición crítica de José De Eusebio - Act 1 - O Mother, why didst thou deny my longing for the fray?

歌詞

How many times do I have to try to tell you? That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done But when I start to try to tell you That’s when you have to tell me Hey, this trouble only just begin I tell myself too many times Why don’t you learn to keep your mouth shut? That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words Keep on falling from your mouth Falling from your mouth Falling from your mouth Tell me why Why? I may be mad I may be glad I may be viciously unkind But I still can read what you are thinking What you are thinking What you thinking I’ve heard it said too many times You be better off Besides, why can’t you see this boat is sinking? This boat is sinking Let’s go down to Waters Edge We can cast away these stones Some things are better left unsaid They still turn me inside out Turn me inside out Turn me inside out Tell me why Tell me why You tell me This is a book I never read The words I never said The path I’ll never tread The dreams I’ll dream instead The drink I step and spilled Tears that we shed The fear, Madrid The conscious inside my head These are the years we spent This is what they represent This is how I feel Do you even know I feel? Cause if you know I don’t think you know How can you know? You never ask me Why
