나이를 먹는다는 건 슬픈일이야. 

정신은 말짱한데 몸이 예전 같지 않아서 말이지. 

20대 후반의 어느날 우연히 퇴근길에 함께한 동준이의 MP3로 들었던 노래 

Damien Rice, Blower's daughter. 

오랜만에 시애틀에서 들으니 다시금 드는 생각. 

그래, 사는건 역시 

잊지 못해 괴로운 것이고 

가지지 못했던 것을 그리워 하는 것이고 

가지고 있는 것을 잊기 때문에 행복하지 못하며 

사그러드는 젊음이 매일 안타까운

그런거였단 걸. 

오랜만에 무한 반복으로 들어보는 어린시절 노래.

"The Blower's Daughter"

And so it is

Just like you said it would be

Life goes easy on me

Most of the time

And so it is

The shorter story

No love, no glory

No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...

And so it is

Just like you said it should be

We'll both forget the breeze

Most of the time

And so it is

The colder water

The blower's daughter

The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?

Did I say that I want to

Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off of you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind...

My mind...my mind...

'Til I find somebody new

아름다운 밤이에요.
