[00:00.000]Manon - Ana Silvera
[00:06.000]You wake to the song of crows
[00:11.000]On that rarefied street row
[00:15.860]Where even the trees stand prouder than the rest
[00:25.160]You took your coat and fled
[00:30.220]Leaving evening's brocade dress
[00:35.020]Hanging like a banshee from the oaken chest
[00:45.440]Oh Manon lay your cool hands down
[00:50.000]And gather night up in your daybreak arms
[00:55.050]And when the season finally turns
[00:57.110]You'll see that everything's unlearned
[00:59.860]You're standing naked in the town
[01:01.600]The truths you wore once like a crown
[01:05.220]Are rusting now
[01:09.150]Oh Manon those wet black leaves like pirate flags
[01:13.380]They sail their branches on a wild wind fast
[01:18.550]They think they're journeying towards the fabled stars
[01:22.110]But they forgot that they are bound by roots and trunks and sodden earth
[01:27.600]Still they sail sail on
[01:32.470]You left the dim light to contend
[01:34.900]With early Mars
[01:37.150]You left what couldn't be still
[01:39.080]Dreaming in the dark
[01:41.460]Oh you and I Manon were
[01:43.640]Captives from the start
[01:45.640]We are sisters of this longing
[01:47.570]That's the keeper of our hearts
[01:50.750]Pilgrims of this sorrow
[01:52.000]With our flags nailed to the mast
[02:08.160]With your will set
[02:12.410]You light a cigarette
[02:16.840]And watch the smoke make faces
[02:18.960]Pensive and uncertain
[02:25.820]And waiting for the train
[02:30.560]In that dog-eared station cafe
[02:35.180]The rain is lowered like a last act curtain
[02:43.670]You draw his mouth in coffee
[02:45.790]Paper for his hair
[02:48.100]And the the chorus line sings
[02:50.100]He's not here
[02:52.650]But you Manon will fill these
[02:54.530]Broken lungs with air
[02:56.520]Miseria Cantare
