The summer sun gleans sickly off my jaundiced skin
|
Reflecting last night's sins
|
All last night's sins
|
I lie awake with your hot breath on my neck
|
Our thoughts are separate
|
All thoughts are separate
|
|
And while you're drifting off to sleep
|
My bones will shake and seethe
|
|
What do you want me to say?
|
What do you want me to do?
|
Say the same tender words
|
And come running back to you?
|
Don't you remember?
|
You washed your hands of me
|
|
Your wringing hands
|
|
I have once flinched before
|
Under your desperate stare
|
You cry that you are lost
|
All things are lost
|
|
I don't seek cruelty
|
I've loved you all the while
|
Please go your own way
|
Make your own way
|
|
And while you're drifting off to sleep
|
My bones will shake and seethe
|
|
What do you want me to say?
|
What do you want me to do?
|
Say the same tender words
|
And come running back to you?
|
Don't you remember?
|
You washed your hands of me
|

Or, Don't You Remember?
