Art Garfunkel - watermark

노래의 화자는 지난 사랑의 기억을 회상하며, 사랑했던 사람의 모습과 그리움을 떠올린다
시간이 흐르면서 그 기억은 사라져가지만, 여전히 마음속에 존재하는 슬픔을 표현한다
결국, 그 아픔은 눈이나 귀로 느낄 수 없는 물음표처럼 남아있다

How delicate the tracery of her fine lines
Like the moonlight lacetops of the evening pines
Like a song half heard through a closed door
Like an old book when you cannot read the writing anymore
How innocent her visage as my child lover lies
Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my eyes
Like an antique etching glass design
That somehow turned out wrong
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even as I sing this song
How secretly and silently my sorrow disappears
You can't see it with your eyes or hear it with your ears
It's like a Watermark that's never there and never really gone
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
