The passing of time is making me sad again

" When you're dancing and laughing and finally living

Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly "

Paroles de the Smiths, vues et entendues dans le film "Nomadland"... car tatouées sur le biceps d'une des employées que Fern (Frances McDormand) rencontrera, au cours de sa mission dans un entrepôt Amazon. Ne nous privons pas de la chanson dans son intégralité

A sad fact widely known

The most impassionate song to a lonely soul

Is so easily outgrown

But don't forget the songs that made you smile

And the songs that made you cry

When you lay in awe on the bedroom floor

And said, "Oh, oh, smother me mother"

The passing of time and all of its crimes

Is making me sad again

The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes

Is making me sad again

But don't forget the songs that made you cry

And the songs that saved your life

Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine

But they were the only ones who ever stood by you

The passing of time leaves empty lives waiting to be filled

I'm here with the cause, I'm holding the torch

In the corner of your room (can you hear me?)

And when you're dancing and laughing and finally living

Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly

Do you love me like you used to?
