| [00:16.090] |
The life of someone promiscuous is unfocused, unclear |
| [00:29.045] |
Forgetting the crisp morning sun |
| [00:34.060] |
On the face of the young beloved |
| [00:42.028] |
The lines of her eyebrows so sharply defined |
| [00:48.424] |
Loving anyone else so far from his mind |
| [00:55.448] |
She is not unique, but seems so then |
| [01:01.786] |
But after five, but after ten |
| [01:08.353] |
When morning’s gone and won’t come back again |
| [01:16.493] |
Then carpe diem |
| [01:21.457] |
One morning I crept into your room, Young Kim |
| [01:27.757] |
And watched you sleep for an hour |
| [01:34.563] |
Your face a white oriental flower |
| [01:39.753] |
So vast and soft next to mine |
| [01:47.639] |
Your body, which didn’t belong to me |
| [01:53.556] |
Still not quite ready for rousing, moved lazily in rehearsal |
| [02:00.831] |
While mine trembled violently in the sublime suspended animation |
| [02:08.571] |
Of my unresolved arousal |
| [02:13.925] |
That hour took me back to something so pure |
| [02:18.956] |
That hour was, for me, transcendental |
| [02:27.012] |
To long and yet never possess |
| [02:30.935] |
Is, as Rilke said better |
| [02:36.886] |
The best |
| [03:15.535] |
Extra track – I Can See Japan |
| [03:18.456] |
I’d like to hear ‘We Can See Japan’ after three… |
| [03:20.502] |
‘I Can See Japan’ |
| [03:21.305] |
‘I Can See Japan’ |
| [03:22.959] |
We can fly… |
| [03:23.426] |
(‘I Can See Japan’) |
| [03:24.006] |
… and I can see Japan |
| [03:25.223] |
Well then, all right, let’s see if we can get a decent recording of it |
| [03:28.578] |
A little less noise on the piano and more singing: |
| [03:31.292] |
|
| [03:32.445] |
I can see Japan |
| [03:36.190] |
I can see Japan |
| [03:40.093] |
I can see the mountaintops |
| [03:44.163] |
And I can see the villages |
| [03:48.372] |
And I can see your images |
| [03:52.517] |
And baby, best of all, I can see your love |
| [04:01.683] |
I can see Japan |
| [04:05.863] |
I can see Japan |
| [04:10.129] |
I can see the mountaintops |
| [04:13.595] |
And I can see the villages |
| [04:17.898] |
And I can see your images |
| [04:22.312] |
And baby, best of all, I can see your love |
| [04:32.008] |
I can see Japan |
| [04:36.112] |
I can see Japan |
| [04:40.185] |
I can see Japa-a-a-an |
