MADELEINE PEYROUX
"The Things I've Seen Today"
(Madeleine Peyroux / Jenny Scheinman)

The things I've seen today
Don't have a name
Some memories
A word cannot explain

They last too long
Or fade too fast
Beginnings change
And endings wane

They lack effect
And cause
At times they seem so poor
All they give is pause

The things I've seen today
I'd seen before
Likely in that way
They'll be back once more

Some sunny days
The scene unfolds a trace
But in this game where the player has no face
He plays a hand that lost
Just to understand at any cost

The things I've seen today
Don't have a name
Some memories a word cannot explain
But when I finally land
Across that line
Remember me as one who tried her mind
Every time
