I Remember Music

Listen to me partner

I'll speak to you of happiness

I'll tell you about a breakwater

But that was long ago I guess

Now I'm on a time schedule

I'm sure you are as well

I don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell either

So you can let on that you knew me the way I needed to be known

The ghost I am, I was long ago

I gave my life to a memory of music

And she just turned her head

Listen to me partner

I'll tell you how this life was led

So secretly so quietly

I chase around what doesn't exist

Now I'm on a time schedule

I'm sure you are as well

I don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell either

I'll try to look into the eyes of these newborns

And try to see the hope that you see

And not the vacant and desolate shell of experience reflected in me

I gave my life to a memory of music

And she just turned her head
