The Most of What Is Least
Embracing Transience: Marianne Faithfull's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I'm staring at the setting of the sun
I am observing the sun as it sets.
For I know my time with you is nearly gone
I am aware that my time with you is coming to an end.
And my minutes, they're so precious, yes, each and every one
My moments are valuable, each one is significant.
As I try to make the most of what is least.
I am striving to maximize the value of what seems less important.
I've a weary kind of feeling in my mind,
I feel a sense of weariness in my mind.
I'll try to look ahead and not behind.
I will focus on the future and not dwell on the past.
And I know that you don't mean to be unkind
I understand that you may not intend to be unkind.
As I try to make the most of what is least.
I am making an effort to maximize the value of seemingly insignificant things.
The rain is dripping down my window pane
Rain is falling on my window, reflecting a somber mood.
And if you came back to me, it wouldn't be the same.
If you were to return, the situation wouldn't be the same.
I know the end is near and I'll try to battle on
I acknowledge that the end is approaching, and I will persevere.
As I try to make the most of what is least.
I am trying to find value in what may seem insignificant.
I'm staring at the setting of the sun
I am again observing the sunset, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time.
For I know my time with you is nearly gone
I am reiterating the awareness of the impending end of our time together.
And my minutes, they're so precious, yes, each and every one
My minutes are precious, emphasizing the importance of each one.
As I try to make the most of what is least.
I am persistently trying to extract value from seemingly minor aspects.
Lonely nights down by the railroad track,
Lonely nights by the railroad track, symbolizing a desolate period.
I see you going and never coming back.
Seeing you leave and not return.
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try to battle on
I will make an effort to endure and persevere.
As I try to make the most of what is least.
I am striving to find value in what may seem insignificant.
