Текст песни: Mitch + перевод

You were writing a book about the Norman invasion

I was writing songs to keep me calm

we had several talks about motives of creation

when we’d meet at Dave’s house

when the nights were still long

I had no idea about your intentions,

no hope to guess the scope of dimensions

dramatic plans for a quiet man

an architect of nihilism

You put on your white tuxedo

adjusted your cummerbund and tie

you walked down to Harvard sq

on Yom Kippur

I got your email

and I got the attachment

but you never got to read my reaction

you were already lying in front of the chapel

when I sent my reply

You were looking for

all encompassing meaning

a thesis steers off

with no one there intervening

searching for a narrative

beyond context no one can see

You put on your white tuxedo

adjusted your cummerbund and tie

You loaded your 38

on Yom Kippur

why is that meaningless?

how is it nihilism?

dig a hole in woods and jump in

how could you search for so long without company?

why couldn’t you let somebody in?

You were writing a book about the Norman invasion

I was writing songs to keep me calm

we had several talks about motives of creation

when we’d meet a Dave’s house

when the nights were still long

You put on your white tuxedo

adjusted your cummerbund and tie

you walked down to Harvard sq

the seat of academia

Harvard sq

you walked down to Harvard sq

on the day of your atonement

Harvard sq

you walked down to Harvard sq

on Yom Kippur
