Memorial |
I wish you had been at your memorial |
Seeing someone proposing on stage |
I couldn’t get through my song for you |
When it came to saying your name |
I can still see the room at the hospital |
Pretty painted tile |
I can still see your skin turning purple |
Milly of the Nile |
Can you hear me? |
Did you mean it? |
Did you plan it out, |
Or was it an accident? |
Time, time, up and down the blue screen |
It’s dawn and I’m insane |
Love’s just a word and not what the word means |
But I’ll say it just the same |
Talking to an entity |
Made of endless night |
I dream in TV dialogue |
A world of shadow and light |
I know it don’t work that way |
But maybe you’ll come back someday |
I know it don’t work like that |
But maybe you can take it back |
Now that there’s no need to say a word |
Can I still make amends? |
But silence — the only kindness I heard |
Forgiveness — the only revenge |
Meeting all of the people |
I’ve heard of from your past |
Reading through all of your letters |
Looking for your love |
You told me that love |
Is when someone asks you |
«Please leave me alone» |
And you really do |
You looked into my eyes |
Till I was your mother and son |
I tried to look away |
But saw you in every one |
I wish you had been at your memorial |
Seeing someone proposing on stage |
