Текст Anaïs Mitchell — Changer

If I can’t keep it
At least let me call it by name
That was called falling
This is called pain
It’s called love, what I’m losing
I know love is a stranger
I know that changes come
I know love is a changer

I’m gonna go quietly
You don’t have to tell me to
Just let me lie here a little longer
Next to you
I’m not trying to bother you
I’m just trying to breathe you in
And then I will leave you there
Where you are sleeping

But speaking of loving you, I do
I’m telling you stranger to stranger
Whatever changes come to you
I’m telling you changer to changer

Morning has stolen your shadow from me
But I hold its shape in my mind
It’s the shape of your back when you turned it on me
One last time

And out in the waking world
Nobody understands exactly how light it is
Exactly how free I am
One minute, I’m laughing
And the next one, I’m lost
I’m watching the birds fly by
I’m watching the highways cross

Speaking of loving you, I do
I’m telling you stranger to stranger
Whatever changes come to you
I’m telling you changer to changer

If I can’t keep it, at least let me call it by name
