|
You followed me, I followed you |
|
With new language you lead me adrift |
|
To find and swallow you |
|
Into this continental rift but |
|
Will all songs be ancient text when |
|
Affairs of lust and power lost on |
|
Railroad tracks or slaveship decks |
|
Why has your love become neglect? |
|
Somewhere there's a memory |
|
A truth that lives in lies |
|
An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies |
|
Will I live in hiding |
|
Between these silhouettes? |
|
Will you remember me when everyone forgets? |
|
Do you know me anymore? |
|
Wasn't I your comfort and your god |
|
And weren't you the shore |
|
I called you home and cried for you but |
|
Sons rise up and Shadow falls |
|
Over rooftops, years and eyes are in |
|
The hopes that you'll recall |
|
Wasn't I a god to you? |
|
Somewhere there's a memory |
|
A truth that lives in lies |
|
An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies |
|
Will I live in hiding |
|
Between these silhouettes? |
|
Will you remember me when everyone forgets? |
|
I promise I will still be there |
|
Even when I haven't got a prayer |
|
Just a lonely stranger in America, but |
|
I'm still here |
|
Oh, god, I'm here |
|
I swear |
|
Somewhere there's a memory |
|
A truth that lives in lies |
|
An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies |
|
Will I live in hiding |
|
Between these silhouettes? |
|
Will you remember me when everyone forgets? |
