Transit - Fennesz, David Sylvian

I have listened repeatedly

I have listened very well

No one interrupts the harmful

When they’re speaking

To wonder why of Europe

Say your goodbyes to Europe

Swallow the lie of Europe

Our shared history dies with Europe

(follow me, won’t you follow me?)

A future’s hinting at itself

Do you fear what I fear?

All those names of ancestry

Too gentle for the stones they bear

Someone somewhere wants to see you

Someone’s traveling towards us all

To wonder why of Europe

To live, love, and cry in Europe

Say your goodbyes to Europe

Our history dies with Europe

(follow me, won’t you follow me?)

The lights are dimming

The lounge is dark

The best cigarette is saved for last

We drink alone

We drink alone
