Reflecting from my death bed
|
I¡¯m balancing lifes riches
|
Against the ditches
|
And the flat greys in between
|
All I can see are the never laid
|
That¡¯s the never played symphonies
|
|
I can¡¯t see those who tried to love me
|
Or those who felt they understood me
|
And I can¡¯t see those who
|
very patiently put up with me
|
All I can see are the never laid
|
Of the never played symphonies
|
|
You were one
|
You meant to be one
|
And you jumped into my face
|
And laughed
|
And kissed me on the cheek
|
And then were gone
|
Forever
|
Not quite
|
|
Black sky in the daytime
|
And I don¡¯t much mind dying
|
When there is nothing left
|
To care for anymore
|
Just the never laid
|
The never played symphonies
|
|
You were one
|
You knew you were one
|
And you slid
|
Right through my fingers
|
No, not literally
|
But metaphorically
|
And, now you¡¯re all I see
|
As the light fades
|
