Looking back on the memory of. The dance we shared beneath the stars above. For a moment all the world was right. How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye.
at a small caf. in a big city. sits a man. with his life in his hands. watch the nod of his head. his eyes heavy lidded. . cause. the world turns. the world it turns.
you had such a lovely crooked smile. and blue eyes that were gray when it was raining. and i still have the bracelet with the gold. and ivory clovers that you made me.
Whoa, I hear the quiet now. Of paper airplanes falling down. Whoa, the branches of every tree. Bend like a cathedral over me. . Down where the river bends, everyone's waiting.
You're a red string tied to my finger a little love letter I carry with me. Sunlight, smoke rings and cigarettes outlines of kisses on silver screens..
Trash bag full of roses on the sidewalk by the street. Love lies decomposing with the flowers at her feet. Alley cat she cries picking through the bones.
I am a monkey in a cage. I am a prisoner of your love. I was a solitary man. Until the day you opened up. . Like a rose. And I fell inside. And your heart, it froze.
I don't know if I've said anything. in this life that's worth remembering. Nothing bold, nothing brave. just these tired old phrases. And I don't know what they mean.
