|
the moonlight is shining down |
|
through the factories on the shipyard waters |
|
and in a winter midnight |
|
sideways move sets on the memory of what's gone missing. |
|
the sidewalk stares up silent |
|
and just a shadow slowly disappearing |
|
a ghost of something real that used to exist |
|
a memory of what's gone missing. |
|
why do you keep running? |
|
the pace is hurried but you're never closer |
|
to what it was you thought you wanted. |
|
it all keeps changing |
|
and now something else is missing. |
|
who knows where it went? |
|
i knew our time was running out |
|
so by the kitchen window back at your house, |
|
i ended up wasted on whiskey straight. |
|
filled the ashtray up with your secrets. |
|
you were an anchor with high cheekbones. |
|
i was a soldier with broken fingers. |
|
you ended up wasted on cheap champagne |
|
celebrating everything that's missing. |
|
why do you keep running? |
|
the pace is hurried but you're never closer |
|
to what it was you thought you wanted. |
|
it all keeps changing. |
|
and now something else is missing. |
|
familiar madness, it all keeps changing |
|
and now something else is missing. |
