Stephin Merritt's little words

De Distortion, de 2008, o belíssimo "Till the bitter end" pelos Magnetic Fields.




Through sleet and snow,
and storm and hail
Through every degradation
and betrayal
Past rhyme, and reason,
and beyond the pale,
darling, I will love you
till the bitter end...
and all the bitter moments till then

Through time and tomb,
and Tim and Tom
Through pro and con,
and quid pro quo, and qualm
Through tidal wave
and asteroid and bomb
darling, I will love you

till the bitter end...
and all the bitter moments till then

And when your charms begin to fade
and when you feel old and afraid
I'll scratch beneath
your shoulder blade
and whisper:

My love is deeper than I show
Remember what I said:
Through sleet and snow...
So even though I know you have to go
darling I will love you
till the bitter end...
and all the bitter moments till then.
