Paroles de « Crosswalk Constellation »

Verse

There are twenty of us waiting and we're waiting where we stand
And the little man is red and there is nowhere we can be
And the taxis make a river out of everything we see
And a woman with a violin is humming quietly
Oh we're twenty different lifetimes standing knee to knee
And the light is gonna change and we'll be scattering like sand
And we'll never ever see each other, that I understand
But for eighteen seconds all of us were standing in a band

Chorus

Crosswalk constellation, momentary nation
Everybody's got a somewhere that they absolutely have to go
Everybody's got a story that you absolutely never know
And the light turns green and everybody scatters in a row
Oh I love you for a moment and I love you and I go
Crosswalk constellation, temporary station
Every city is a sky full of a shining population
And we shine for eighteen seconds, that's the whole of the creation

Verse

There's a man who's in a hurry with a hurry in his face
There's a woman with a toddler and the toddler's in the rain
There's a kid who's got a skateboard and a look I can't explain
And the walk sign starts to chirping like a little metal train
Oh and every single one of us is heading home again
And the whole of it is over in the smallest bit of space
And it happens on the hour and it happens every place
And it's holier than anything, this ordinary grace

Chorus

Bridge

If you ever feel invisible and lonely in the night
Go and stand upon a corner around six o'clock today
And you'll see a hundred people who are also in the way
And you'll see they're all just trying and they're going to be okay
Oh the antidote to nobody is everyone, they say
And a crosswalk is a chapel and a chapel is alright
And the little man turns white and all at once you get the right
To go walking with the strangers in the middle of the light
