All the mistakes that I have made
|
All the things I should have seen but I looked away
|
All the things we should have shared that we kept to ourselves
|
All the things that we shared we should have kept to ourselves
|
And I guess it’s the modern way ? the phone call that comes
|
flying out of a blue autumn day and suddenly everything
|
goes so and quiet and soon everyone seems to be alone
|
with their own thoughts And now it’s as if I’m standing
|
beneath a torrent of falling water, feeling things I don’t
|
want to feel, remembering things I don’t want to remember
|
But we said what we said and we made what we made
|
|
And so I say the things I have learned to say
|
Thankful for words that can be used
|
We were both like waves not able to break
|
Rolling and turning and turning and rolling
|
But still not able to break
|
|
And I’m numb, I’m numb like when you’ve been driving
|
so fast for so long that it feels as if you’re hardly
|
moving at all, my body rigid with tension, my sould all
|
wound up like a twisted ttree, the way we used to be when
|
we sang of passion and justice and faith was easy and
|
celebrated in a ritual of curling smoke, arms all raised up
|
towards the lights…
|
And we said what we said but we made what we made
|
And so by now you’ll be further on that I ever went; and is
|
it still painless? Do you get to float and look down and do
|
all of that? Tonight would be as good a night as any..
|
you’ll see the city alive like a great resting animal
|
lying in the lea of the hills and the moorland and
|
breathing little patterus of fire out into the cold dark
|
coming of winter. And I’m warming my back against
|
the heat of a bonfire ? like the ones you so loved so build
|
and I’m thinking about it all ? and I’m sorry and Im not sorry.
|
Our time was made up of confused emotiongs and little
|
whirlwinds and all that stuff we coulnd’t really talk about
|
but most of all it was sealed in sacred moments like these
|
And then it was gone…
