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 |
