(J. Ferguson/Sloan)
|
|
Said you'd found a way to end it peacefully
|
I remember finding shoes near the lake under a tree
|
And I'm sittin' on the shore
|
I thought I saw your charm float by
|
It doesn't matter now
|
'Cause all you wanted to do was die
|
|
If only you'd stuck around
|
I never would have made a sound
|
But now you're on the ocean floor
|
And I've opened a brand new door
|
Brand new door
|
|
Swimming out to sea
|
Trying to find something else
|
While I'm skipping stones
|
And I'm listening to the shells
|
And I won't forget you
|
If someone else comes along
|
|
I found the words you wrote
|
But I would not dare to quote
|
My friends, the lines you amend
|
Like "What's so bad about dying anyway"
|
|
Swimming out to sea
|
Trying to find something else
|
While I'm skipping stones
|
And I'm listening to the shells
|
And I won't forget you
|
If someone else comes along
|
You'll always come to mind
|
Whenever I hear that song
|
|
The one about photographs
|
Sung by Ringo Starr
|
Especially in the chorus part
|
You always said, "Now don't you start"
|
|
Don't you start, yeah yeah
|
Don't you start
|
Don't you start
|
