Locket Songtext
von Moss Icon

Today there was a street where a walker walked alone
Whistling a tune that drifted up to a tree
A stirred up bird all before it was heard by a girl

Today there was a vision of a house burning on a television
In a room inside an eye in a head topped by a brown curl
A telephone ring in the middle of the night
Was said to cause fright in a dark house lived in by a family of four

Today is almost tomorrow
And if I think not quite yesterday
But old is the head that sees not
Would at the foot of its bed
And tomorrow is not quite yesterday
Tomorrow′s not quite yesterday


Last time I saw you
You didn't have brown hair
And not like the fall zone
That′s on your halls no more
And creeping up the stairs to your room
Stick close I'd say to the wall
Because the wall and the stairs will keep you all
And I think I would know

Last time I ate at your table like a seal man
I was transparent as a ghost is
Now all my words and fears are
Mine alone, dear and dear

Every day of the whistling
He sang the same old tune

Would you talk to me as if I'm real to you?
Would you talk to me as if I′m real to you?
Knowing about me what you do
Knowing that to me nobody looks quite like you

Knowing that today is not quite like yesterday
Knowing that today is not quite yesterday

But today was not a good one

The last time I saw you
You didn′t have brown hair
And not like the fall zone
That's on your halls no more
And next to your room
All my fears are mine alone


Today a call could not go through
Today a window revealed not you
Today a bird stood not in its nest
Today shall we say was not the very best

Dear and dear
Last time I ate at your table like a seal man
I was transparent as a ghost is
Now all my words and fears are
Mine alone, dear and dear
Would you talk to me as if I′m real to you?
