You don't have to tell me what you're still looking for,

Two arms to hold you and a voice to say,

"That's alright, you can spend the night",

Well, come around.

'Cos I've been there and these are the notes

From the underground,

The World Saxaphone Quartet, the smell of violets,

And a passing friend won't let you down.

Listen to the rhythm of the rain falling,

Say you're gonna change your foolish ways.

Make a promise, break a promise in the same day,

It goes the same way, anyway.

So you pray for silence and its sadness and its violence

To be washed away, One day.

I understand the state you've reach of being unreachable,

Somewhere out there where only the music plays.

Loneliness and being alone don't always mean the same,

Who needs the movie? You can see the music anyway.

A Sketch For Winter, a Burgundy and sanctuary

Can make me stay when I feel that way.

And if my words don't say the things

that they were meant to say,

And if confusion comes and carries all my words away,

And if you still don't understand,

I wanna hold your hand, and look at it this way...

Someone singing's better than the war they're winning

Winging its way, your way or my way,

Any day, any way, stray.

/////

No tienes que explicarme lo que sigues buscando,

dos manos te abrazan y una voz te dice:

"Está bien, puedes malgastar la noche".

Bueno, vamos...

Porque he estado ahí y esas son las notas del "underground".

The World Saxophone Quartet, el olor de las violetas

y un amigo que va pasando no te dejarán caer.

Escucha el ritmo de la lluvia cayendo,

dijiste que ibas a cambiar tus estúpidas formas de ser,

haces una promesa, rompes una promesa... en el mismo día,

viene a ser lo mismo de todas formas...

Así que rezas por el silencio, la tristeza y su violencia

para limpiarte.

Un día...

Entiendo el estado que has alcanzado de convertirte inalcanzable.

En algún lugar ahí fuera, donde sólo la música suena,

"soledad" y "estar sólo" no significan lo mismo.

¿Quién necesita la película?, puedes ver la música de todas formas...

"Sketch For Winter", un Burgundy (vino) y el asilo pueden hacerme permanecer

cuando me siento de esa manera...

Y si mis palabras no dicen las cosas que pretendían decir,

y si la confusión viene y se lleva todas mis palabras,

y si sigues sin entender, te cogeré de la mano.

Fíjate en la manera en la que lo estamos haciendo.

Alguien cantando es mejor que la guerra que ellos están ganando,

Volando a su manera, a tu manera o a la mía, cualquier día,

abstraerse...

This song is just a beautiful and amazing composition. It is between Stray and The Gentle Kind as my two favorites off this album which is my favorite Aztec Camera/Roddy Frame album. Happen to be listening to this morning so very cool to see this share just now of FB. Thanks for sharing.

This is right up there with Oblivious as the band's best work.

This is the first I've heard this song and I fell in love with it straight away. Beautiful, he sure knows how to write great lyrics, captures the essence of being alone but not lonely.

What a beautifully crafted love song.Roddy's captures the essence of feelings and emotions perfecty.Listening to the words,it has it's own philosophy on love and being in love. Also it's such a timeless creation. I agree with Rebecca,probably my alltime favourite.
