Gabriel Lyrics - Singles - Emmy The Great

gabriel this is the last 

chapter of our correspondence 

i hope that after time goes past 

you can remember me with fondness 

i think as i am thinking now 

of all the pages that have seen us 

laid out an ending in between us 

and we can walk them like the ground 

i know my fate i do not mean to fight 

but you tread softly on the ground tonight 

tread softly on the words you used to write 

oh gabriel i see you there 

that day i met you in the orchard 

and i was younger then i wore my hair 

in bows across my forehead

soon they were twisted at the shoulder 

and fixed with clasps against my neck 

and i do not think you would know her 

if you could see what they reflect 

i've seen my future in an evening dress 

all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess 

remember me the way you knew me best 

oh gabriel i have kept 

everything you sent me 

everything you put to paper but 

it's better to forget 

and fill your head with memories 

think that you will thank me later 

oh gabriel i wish that i 

could pick you up and fold you like a ribbon 

i'd hold you always and in secret 

in the pockets of my clothes 

Photos 

but this is how i live my life 

with all the parts that i was given 

this is the heart that i was given 

and what you're given can't be sold 

i see my future in an evening dress 

all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess 

remember the way you knew me best 

i know my fate i do not mean to fight 

but you tread softly on the ground tonight 

tread softly on the words you used to write 

i know my fate i do not mean to fight 

but you tread softly on the ground tonight 

tread softly on the words you used to write
