lyrics

I took a train to another town a leafy side street full of sound surrounds your little piece of ground
Someone had grown flowers given it a name but it would never be the same
Your garden full of fire and flame
All we could do was watch you running free and wild
An Eve of life and laughter the eternal child
Knowing that you came to live a life so rare cannot shape meaning from the air or make it easier to bear
With the conscience of a judas the demeanour of a saint
You went through life unburdened by dark fears or complaint
Or so it seemed to us who only watch and wait
He said trying not to love you was trying not to breathe
He knew that you were lying you said you’d never leave
But I think you know and I think you see and I think you would be proud
Of the paths that I have chosen of the person I’ve become
And if you are there and if you recall then there’s something here for you
I remember
Things always are and not how they seem
Weep for the end yet still begin recalling all that might have been
And when the sun went down it smudged the sky
I think of you and I still cry a thousand ways to say goodbye
