http://joannanewsomfashion.tumblr.com already posted what they can decipher of the lyrics, and i made a few changes (that are probably not right, so bear with me):
if I had the space of half a day .. I’m ashamed of half the things I say.. I’m ashamed to have.. this way.. well I desire to make amends.
but it don’t make no difference now, and no one’s listening anyhow, and lists of sins and a solemn vow can’t make you any friends
there’s an old trick played when the light and the wine conspire to make me think I’m fine. I’m not but I have got half a mind .. to maybe get there yet
when the sky goes pink in Paris, France, do you think of the girl who used to dance? when you framed the moment within your hands saying, this I won’t forget.
what happened to the man you were when you loved somebody before her? did you die, or does that man endure somewhere far away?
but lives come easy and the lives come hard, and we carry them like a pack of cards. some we don’t use, but we don’t discard, and we keep for a rainy day.
This is what I hear. I think it should be "I'm not, but I have got half a mind" but I have played it several times and I still hear "we." Maybe she sang that part wrong? *shrug*
If I half the space of half a day I'm ashamed of half the things I say I'm ashamed to have to laugh this way Well I desire to make amends
But it don't make no difference now And no one's listening anyhow And lists of sins and solemn vows Can't make you any friends

When the sky goes pink in Paris, France Do you think of the girl who used to dance When you'd frame her moving within your hands Saying, "this I won't forget"
What happened to the man you were When you loved somebody before her? Did you die, or does that man endure Somewhere far away?
The lives come easy and the lives come hard And we carry them like a pack of cards Some we don't use but we don't discard Yeah, we keep for a rainy day
Probably some of the most touching lyrics she's ever written - a gorgeous song!. Judging from the new songs, Joanna seems quite interested in semi existentialist subjects at the moment, whereas HOOM seemed to be more about love. It all seems to be about death and mortality in some way, which is something I could really get into.
I'm not as keen on this one and the other one (something about despair?) - they're nice, but there's not as much about the melodies that really grab me as much as some of the stuff we heard before Ys and HOOM came out. I do adore The Diver's Wife though.
In case anyone is interested (from what I can hear):
C G If I half the space of half a day C C F I'm ashamed of half the things I say C C F I'm ashamed to have to laugh this way F G Am Well I desire to make amends
I didn't catch that at first but it fits perfectly, as the song is placed in the middle of an album that - apart from the loop structure (Time, as a symptom / Anecdotes) - seems to be very concerned with the concept of time in general. And than there is the "time moves both ways" bit in "Time, as a symptom"!
