Paroles de Memorare

slipping between us, the ghost & the mourning
prayers spent finding, a reason to stay
painful and aching, the balance is breaking
with so many words, I don't know what to say....

our planets break orbit like paper and water
delicate dancing on the edge of her lips
something unsettled, and something remembered
something forgiven, keeps silent with-in
and she turns to me with tears in her eyes
as if she doesn't see the tempest inside
and our hearts are beating, but no-one is breathing
a small thing I think, so close to the end

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my own
and something sacred, it could be dying - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
that I remember...

oh, Memorare
oh, Memorare


Kisses left longing, somewhere behind us searching for glimpses that lovers embraced
how close and how distant, we stand to each other
knowing that nothing, can ever be replaced

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge
and something sacred, moments reflecting - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
that I remember...

oh, Memorare
oh, Memorare

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge
and something sacred, moments reflecting - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
that I remember...
