Текст песни: Like Smoke + перевод

Slowly I moved through the house

And closed all the windows

Clouds formed above us

As black as the teeth at the back of your mouth

I will drape the sheet over my head

Like a Halloween ghost

We will rise above the city like smoke

We will rise above the city like smoke

We scattered my grandfather’s ashes

In a plant pot of fuchsias

Earlier that day

Surrounded by my cousins and my brothers

You wore a tulip

And I wore a great big rose

We will rise above the city like smoke

We will rise above the city like smoke

Drunk now dancing

Out of time with the record

You come flying

Faster than blood flows

With the weight of the world on your shoulders

You float

We will rise above the city like smoke

We will rise above the city like smoke

One fist shaped like an oven

One wrist like a chimney stack

The heavens open

Contrary to rumours the heavens are black

And we find ourselves responding

Like it’s all a great big joke

We will rise above the city like smoke

We will rise above the city like smoke

My dad’s on the telephone

And his voice is trembling

He has a hard time letting go

He has a hard time remembering

I can understand him clearly

Though there’s something in his throat
