Lara Herscovitch: listen

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Sylvia sits, Sylvia waits
Sylvia watches through these gates
Sylvia dreams, Sylvia aches
Sylvia wonders how to escape

(chorus)
Shuffling slowly, she’ll get by
Makes her way 5 cents at a time
Drifted far from the shore of her soul
Sylvia keeps on rolling…
Scared to look down
Streets have shifted when she turns around
Sylvia wishes, she tries
But you can’t see the future in Sylvia’s eyes

Sylvia speaks, Sylvia lies
Sylvia waits for every goodbye
Sylvia schemes, miscalculates
Sylvia bleeds all her mistakes

(chorus)

For the life she’s led; question marks hanging all over her head
She crystallized her demise, moved counter-clockwise and capsized

(chorus)
