Narrow Daylight
sung by me 🙂
Narrow daylight entered my room
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?
I walked through halls of reputation
Among the infamous too
As the camera clings to the common thread
Beyond all vanity
Into a gaze to shoot you through
Among the infamous too
As the camera clings to the common thread
Beyond all vanity
Into a gaze to shoot you through
Is the kindness we count upon
Hidden in everyone?
I stepped out in a sunlit grove
Although deep down I wished it would rain
Washing away all the sadness and tears
That will never fall so heavily again
Hidden in everyone?
I stepped out in a sunlit grove
Although deep down I wished it would rain
Washing away all the sadness and tears
That will never fall so heavily again
Is the kindness we count upon
Hidden in everyone
Hidden in everyone
I stood there in the salt spray air
Felt the wind sweeping over my face
I ran up through the rocks to the old
Wooden cross
It’s a place where I can find some peace
Felt the wind sweeping over my face
I ran up through the rocks to the old
Wooden cross
It’s a place where I can find some peace
Narrow daylight entered my room
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?
(Krall/Costello)
Nooit schreef Diana Krall haar eigen teksten of zong ze haar eigen liedjes totdat, in 2002, haar moeder stierf. Het album The girl in the other room uit 2004 werd een heel persoonlijk album met liedjes en teksten van haarzelf, en hooguit een beetje hulp van echtgenoot Elvis Costello.
Een van de mooiste liedjes op deze cd vind ik Narrow daylight. Een liedje over (slechts terloops even aangestipt) verlies en verdriet. Maar ook over het bijeenrapen van moed om toch weer verder te gaan. Narrow daylight, een sprankje licht, en wijzelf misschien wel stronger than we believe …
