Pale Blue Eyes - The Velvet Underground

날씨가 무척 춥습니다. 

너무 급작스러워서 마음이 허둥지둥 합니다. 

밤늦게 운동 끝나고 돌아와 이 노래를 듣다보니 뜬금없이 울컥하려 하네요.

현관 앞 처마에 매달린 풍경이 거친 바람에 마구 휘둘려 우왕좌왕 울고 있습니다. 

바람이 없는 이 공간에 앉아 안도를 하지만 그래도 바깥 세상의 한기가 스물스물 내게 스미는듯 싶습니다. 

마음이 자꾸 싸해지는 걸 보니 말입니다.

 

Lou Reed의 곡. The Velvet Underground 의 1969년 발매 앨범 "The Velvet Underground"에 수록된 곡.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes I feel so happy

Sometimes I feel so sad

Sometimes I feel so happy

But mostly you just make me mad

Baby you just make me mad

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top

Thought of you as my peak

Thought of you as everything

I've had but couldn't keep

I've had but couldn't keep

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see

I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me

I put in front of me

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup

She said money is like us in time

It lies but can't stand up

Down for you is up

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

It was good what we did yesterday

And I'd do it once again

The fact that you are married

Only proves you're my best friend

But it's truly, truly a sin

Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Linger on, your pale blue eyes
