Lyrics

[01:18.15] Quickly forgetting was
[01:22.45] The way I lived my life
[01:25.54]
[01:27.89] Try telling me your name
[01:30.33] Or try telling me "don't worry"
[01:33.82]
[01:35.97] Everything I knew would
[01:38.58] Quickly wither and die
[01:43.03]
[01:43.67] All echoes would be buried
[01:46.94] In the sound of living
[01:52.67]
[01:53.95] The sound of feet slapping sidewalk
[01:57.99]
[01:59.76] That was me, treasure hunting
[02:03.09]
[02:03.71] I would bury what I found
[02:07.37]
[02:08.26] That was me , the gold digger
[02:12.67]
[02:13.86] Underground
[02:16.02]
[02:25.98] Quickly forgotten was
[02:28.88] This forgetful way of life
[02:32.05]
[02:34.23] When I left home
[02:36.01]
[02:36.80] When I lived as if I'd died
[02:40.89]
[02:42.42] Sitting on a rock and doing nothing
[02:46.46]
[02:49.12] Alone for so long
[02:51.38]
[02:54.12] In the dark I found my sight
[02:57.39] There you name was
[03:00.14]
[03:02.33] Written large in letters bright
[03:05.81] And there my faith was
[03:08.33]
[03:10.93] "Worry not" declared the night
[03:13.87] In the great void of my life
[03:17.67] I could feel the shape of
[03:20.29] What was missing
[03:21.87]
[03:23.03] Like the way the Woolly
[03:25.26] Mammoth stands so tall and bold
[03:29.27] In our minds
[03:30.65]
[03:31.38] I was shaking at the size of my cry
[03:40.93]
[03:43.92] And the true love it described
[03:47.75]
[03:48.79] I know a new day is dawning
[03:50.79]
[03:51.44] Now and so ends my holy night
[03:55.17]
[03:56.08] It's back to the world I go
[03:58.56]
[03:59.86] Back to little girls and
[04:02.60] Shows
[04:03.69] And their worldly woes
[04:07.14]
[04:08.22] All unfurling clothes
[04:12.22]
[04:12.81] Will I carry myself slowly
[04:19.13] Enough to remember
[04:22.90]
[04:25.20] I sit on a dark rock doing
[04:27.48] Nothing, still just crowded in
[04:31.09]
[04:35.21] There's the love in flesh and bones
