Purcell: The Fairy Queen, Z.629 - Ed. Britten, Holst, Pears / Act 2 - "Hush, No More"

歌詞

Amber stands in the courtyard of her summer home, Watching clouds as they spell out her name, Flying high with the diamonds Lucy gave she said I'm not comming home today. Amber chases dragonflies through tinfoil fields. She feels them dancing in her eyes, she don't know what's real. She puts on her jewls but they no longer gleam. She puts on her belt and floats into a dream. She knows it's not the weather that's twisting her days. She wants to stay forever that's why she'll say I'm not comming home today. Amber lies wrapped in satin sheets with the memories of All the dark deeds she has done. She gave up the day 'cause the night feels better. She gave up the day 'cause the night pays better. She knows it's not the weather that's twisting her days. She wants to stay forever, so forever she'll stay and say I'm not comming home today. Amber is loosing herself to a dream She believes to be better than The life that she leads. All her pictures are broken And memories fade. That's just a token of The price that she's paid. She just wants more. Oh, she just wants more. But she can't take more. Still she just wants more. Amber lies on the pavement, of a winter street Watching all of her colors fade. Between her toes lies the key to the summer home Where she's gone now to stay. She won't be comming home today
