lyrics

I hear your voice tell me things that are caught up in the past
they mean nothing to me now, just the flash of a synapse
when I hear a different name, I see a different face
I don’t remember the time, I’ve nearly forgotten the place
and I work these memories in my hands like clay
but time has made them sag and break
and everything has changed

and I smile, smile, smile
as I remember the things that used to matter so much

I walked alone across this town carrying a heavy heart
but I realized after a while that I’m lucky as I are
with a bag of books and poems all assembled into to rows
and I spend half the night crossing out the ones I chose
I write by the sreetlight ‘cause the winter sun is set
and I turn these filling pages while the ink still is wet

and I cry, cry, cry
as I remember the things that used to hurt so much

And now all these images descend into a dream
as I put myself to bed tired, wired and wondering
what tomorrow might bring, ideas as big as you can think
the colors start to bloom as dreams develop in the sink
the focus grows soft and the edges start to fade
as I push off this shore, deeper waters yet to wade

and I dream, dream, dream
about the things that will always matter so much
