Lyrics Jane Siberry

Jane Siberry

Vladimir Vladimir

I wouldn't call it dark, one spade, three spades

I wouldn't call it light either, four spades pass, oh

Oh, there go all my coins

There's someone at the door, what was that?

There's water nearby, I can tell

Drop down to or pass on by?

Pass on by and after the meeting they asked me

If I would like to become the conductor of their choir

I couldn't believe it, isn't it fantastic?

It's not art, it's self-defense it, it captures him

He has to capture it back, it's a power struggle, self-defense

It's not art, not art, are these your coins? Oh, yeah

Did you sit down? Are you cold? No, I'm cold

I mean, yes, grainy, I was thinking of something else

Pretty cold, no, don't sound like you're reading

It just sort of say it

There are mountains nearby, like you're moving through the night

I can tell and it's grainy, I can hear the coins dropping on them

Drop down to or pass on by?

Pass on by has nothing to do with the church

Because it is a choir from the church

But they say it doesn't matter

We sing other songs as well beauty without scrutiny

That's a true definition of it, I could tell it was beautiful

Before I even saw it and I pressed through

The tourists swimming, swimming through

The freezing pins to see and I couldn't see you

Could say one more silent something

Pressing through the graininess of night

I'm really longing forward to see you

Now, let the music play for a while

Grainy, grainy, this time I remembered to say I love you

And then we moved through a dark valley

And then up into the sky and I said, look, look

But there was not a speck to be seen

But there's water nearby

There is a man, standing in a field

Leans on his hoe, stares down the furrows

Counts on his fingers, one more endless flight

Of the inarticulate soul that he borrows

Vladimir, Vladimir, standing in the field

Till he lines his sight along the furrows

Waiting for the, waiting for the

Waiting for the flight

Set against the fading light

Waiting for his hand to put the hoe down

Waiting for the, waiting for the

Waiting for the flight
