someone, somewhere |
|
has my pictures of us |
|
but it's ok |
|
because it's hard |
|
to make out details in those faded photographs |
|
a picture of us sunny and true |
|
faded to irrelevant blue |
|
so you've found new ways |
|
of keeping memory |
|
in rythmn and melody |
|
your songs |
|
just like my songs |
|
they're made up of questions |
|
but if you really wanna know what i'm like |
|
take a fucking look in my eyes |
|
and so you keep on singing that song |
|
as if nothing is wrong |
|
sing as loud as you want |
|
'cause soon i'll be gone |
|
but its never easy no it's never easy no it's never that easy |
|
not even now that i'm leaving |
|
and though all of it's done yeah and all of it's closed now and all of it's gone |
|
still going to stay there in your songs |
|
how do old songs |
|
speak in new ways |
|
oh so many years on? |
|
so long |
|
maybe there's one |
|
that we can both learn from |
|
a ballad broken over the rocks |
|
or a lullaby that always gets lost |
