lyrics

we bend the streets in spite of fevers
prospects, like sand, are caught in hourglass
tiptoeing under candalabras
the night is young a camera captures
creep on the case with walnut finish
swift shadows weave across the rails, they dance
imparting tiger stripes on people
wide eyes in trance, the floor’s a jungle
star power on your crystal beaches
reflection pools are floating images
we know you had the best intentions
divine your past when something’s missing
entrusted to you countless hours
toes deep in mud we laughed and learned to trust
good tiding when the waves came rushing
it’s sinking in, the water glistens
you can’t really sob because it's been a long time coming
you try to retrieve what you lost,
but your heart’s still beating
and sure the memories have their place
just not in my face, not on my home base
the feelings can fly, after all they’re weightless
i could just die, wouldn’t that be something?
i’ve given my time, it’s time I’m moving
the pictures I’ve got of you by now are vintage
rehearsal has gotten old just stop.
