Jar of Echoes |
In the last gasp of your heart |
A song you couldn’t sing |
The words were far too old |
The tune was paper thin |
But when you were a girl |
This song was fresh and loud |
You chased it round the school yard |
You rode it like a cloud |
The birds amongst the rafters |
They knew the song by heart |
They loved to hear your laughter |
They sang the house apart |
I heard of you from others |
But others loved you less |
I climbed inside your records |
I climbed inside your dress |
I’m seven steps behind you |
I’m gathering your breath |
I am the jar of echoes |
I am the silent death |
In the last gasp of your heart |
A song you couldn’t sing |
The words were far too old |
The tune was paper thin |
But when you were a girl |
This song was fresh and loud |
You chased it round the school yard |
You rode it like a cloud |
