This was a fun one to arrange; the guitar intro, Anthony Green's range, polyphonic verses. At various times, "Juturna" has spent months on end in my car CD player (yes, I still use one). It is such an incredible album, and I hope this arrangement honors Circa's original creation.
lyrics
Can we last through the winter?
The water's starting to freeze.
The only one who remembers
Taking the wrong step, falling in front of me.
This body's already aging.
These nights are all ready long.
And if I last through the winter,
I swear to you now, I won't call.
Congratulations, go home now.
Will we last through the winter?
Will we make it to see?
I never wanted a partner
I never loved you, now you are free to leave.
This heart is already frozen,
I can't remember the fall.
And if I last through the winter,
I swear to you now, I won't call.
Congratulations, go home now.
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.
It must be buried under the heart
That makes this pace consistent.
You'll find it torn, that gate's been opened?
I've been wondering if you've been real with us.
It's start, stop and go you've been dying for, you've been dying for.
