It's the way that you repair the broken parts It's the way that you assemble And it's wandering, the keys, the stops and starts Oh, this still life has its virtues 'Cause everything in motion leaves or is just left behind And I don't think it could hurt you It gets colder (Holdin' out), holdin' out (Holdin' out), holdin' out There are days that I remember what's been lost There are days that I've forgotten Like an old friend that moved to Canada And I held it up And I held it out And I'm spared Oh, this still life has its virtues 'Cause everything in motion leaves or is just left behind And I don't think it could hurt you Oh, this still life has its virtues 'Cause everything in motion leaves or is just left behind And I don't think it could hurt you So stay a little while Only for a while I'm crossing you in style
