The Imperfection Of Memory Lyrics - Fast Trains And Telegraph Wires/cicely Tonight, Vol. 1 - Trembling Blue Stars

I can't hold onto you like I promised to 

Said I'd always remember 

But every day your face grows fainter 

Every day a little fainter 

You knew that this would happen didn't you 

When you stood and begged me 

To remember your existence 

You knew my memories would grow distant 

An unbearable sadness fills the gaps 

Left by details I can't get back 

I can't get back 

I never dreamt I'd be here failing you 

The imperfection of memory 

Now you're more of a ghost than ever - 

With your signal growing dimmer 

I thought I'd have no trouble doing 

What it was you were asking 

Didn't see the darkness coming 

Into which you're disappearing 

An unbearable sadness fills the gaps 

Left by details I can't get back 

I can't get back 

I'm failing but fighting to keep you 

I'm fighting but failing to keep you 

I'm failing but fighting to keep you 

I'm fighting but failing to keep you
