Signs and Symbols

Wasn’t looking for a symbol wasn’t looking for a sign
The summer rain so sudden came and washed the ink right from the page
Isn’t it just fitting darling isn’t it just right
The time erased we obliterate the book of you and I
Your eyes were premonitions your expressions couldn’t lie
Took a long hard look while you walked away
I built shrines in my mind to your memory
All I got back was misery
In this ocean of a city I was oh so out to sea
So I’ll die a drunkards death
Tried to forget but I haven’t yet
The solitude and empty rooms
Is all that I’ve got left
Take a long hard look while I fade away
I took the train at dawn just to slip into your arms
Nothing was the same and everything had changed
and I left in defeat all alone in these streets thinking of you
I built shrines in my mind to your memory
All I got back was misery
In this ocean of a city I was oh so out to sea
So I’ll die a drunkards death
Tried to forget but I haven’t yet
The solitude and empty rooms
Is all that I’ve got left
Take a long hard look while I walk away
You came around the corner oh a vision in that dress
The years between us disappeared the pain it filled my chest
I kissed you good bye softly and I wished you all the best
The burden slipped from of the yoke and then the pain it left
I built shrines in my mind to your memory
All I got back was misery
In this ocean of a city I was oh so out to sea
Maybe we’ll look back and laugh and wonder how it went so fast
The past aint dead it aint even past
Take a long hard look
While I walk away
