EVEN WHEN THE RAIN FALLS
EVEN WHEN THE FLOOD STARTS RISING
EVEN WHEN THE STORM COMES
I AM WASHED BY THE WATER
Daddy was a preacher
She was his wife
Just tryin to make the world a little better
You know, shine a light
People started talking
Trying to hear their own voice
Those people tried to accuse my father
Said he made the wrong choice
Though it might be painful
You know that time will always tell
Those people have long since gone
My father never failed
EVEN WHEN THE RAIN FALLS
EVEN WHEN THE FLOOD STARTS RISING
EVEN WHEN THE STORM COMES
I AM WASHED BY THE WATER
Even if the Earth crumbles under my feet
Even if the ones I love turn around and crucify me
I won’t never ever let you down
I won’t fall
I won’t fall
I won’t fall as long as you’re around me

以前の来日で、この曲について「日本での経験を書いた」or「日本で書いた」と言っていたので、入れてくれたのかな?
あともう一曲あったような気もするのですが、思い出せません…
Hot Rod Circuit や The Anniversary, The New Amsterdams, etc…
TGUK 以外にも、Alex がかかわった音楽を聴いてきたんだなぁ。
Vagrant Record → Curb Appeal Records から移籍(?) して
いまはもう、TGUK メンバーのそばにはいないのかもしれません。
でもわたしにとって、Alex は永遠に6人目のkid。
昨年からつづいているReunion Tour にも遊びにきたはず、と勝手に信じてます(笑)
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don’t turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I’m not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
I’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE
WHEREVER YOU FALL
IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
WHENEVER YOU CALL
AND PLEASE DON’T FIGHT
THESE HANDS THAT ARE HOLDING YOU
MY HANDS ARE HOLDING YOU
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world’s sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
Cause I love you
I want you to know
That I love you
I’ll never let you go
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it’s over
Just hear this and then I’ll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you’ll ever know.
Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can’t we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it’s just because I didn’t know you at all.
