everyone agrees it came too soon |
| [00:20.51] |
it was only meant to be an interception |
| [00:26.49] |
you kept fear of death in the back pocket of your jeans |
| [00:33.57] |
in the palm of your hand, affection |
| [00:38.76] |
|
| [00:40.94] |
it came like a sudden gust of wind |
| [00:45.64] |
leaving them bewildered to ask how |
| [00:52.12] |
i recall last time we met, you said we'd meet again |
| [00:59.06] |
the irony is only bitter now |
| [01:04.92] |
|
| [01:05.83] |
these days everyone cries, "say uncle" |
| [01:11.22] |
they want to touch your spirit lest it die |
| [01:17.64] |
for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table |
| [01:23.66] |
to form a healing circle for our new demise |
| [01:30.22] |
these days everyone cries, "say uncle" |
| [01:35.55] |
i retrieve the memories quickly as i can |
| [01:42.40] |
add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds |
| [01:48.40] |
your body gone, we shall keep the man |
| [01:54.65] |
|
| [02:03.75] |
i close my eyes and hope they do not fade |
| [02:09.12] |
these remnants of a voice and a smile |
| [02:15.16] |
images of landscape, cloaked in forest green |
| [02:21.96] |
like your life unfolding mile by mile |
| [02:28.85] |
a fierce embrace, a word of thanks |
| [02:33.31] |
a cheerful whistle, and hours in a van |
| [02:40.12] |
somehow these pieces must bring back the man you were |
| [02:45.93] |
though the ocean claims your ashes on the sand |
| [02:51.82] |
|
| [02:52.41] |
these days everyone cries, "say uncle" |
| [02:57.50] |
they want to touch your spirit lest it die |
| [03:03.67] |
for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table |
| [03:09.59] |
to form a healing circle for our new demise |
| [03:15.95] |
these days everyone cries, "say uncle" |
| [03:21.25] |
i retrieve the memories quickly as i can |
| [03:27.80] |
add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds |
| [03:34.64] |
your body gone, we shall keep the man |
| [03:44.55] |
|
| [04:14.74] |
these days everyone cries, "say uncle" |
| [04:19.67] |
they want to touch your spirit lest it die |
| [04:25.88] |
for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table |
| [04:32.39] |
to form a healing circle for our new demise |
| [04:39.27] |
these days everyone cries, "say uncle" |
| [04:44.71] |
i retrieve the memories quickly as i can |
| [04:51.32] |
add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds |
| [04:57.89] |
your body gone, we shall keep the man |
