Hiroshima Mon Amour
Album: A Box of Birds
Release Date: 8/24/99
Label: Thirsty Ear Recordings
Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the phone
The sunlit dust
Someone waits behind the door
Hiroshima mon amour
Riding inter-city trains
Dressed in European gray
Riding out to echo beach
A million memories in the trees and sands
How can I ever let them go?
Hiroshima mon amour
Deep beneath the autumn lake
Where only echoes penetrate
Walk through Polaroids of the past
Futures fused like shattered glass
Turns our silhouettes to gold
Hiroshima mon amour
