The Forgetting Room |
We were children when I met you |
There between the autumn trees |
You consumed me and I let you |
Burn me in the fallen leaves |
A thousand winters each more serious |
Separated earth and sky |
The blood was angry, blood was furious |
But the heart cannot recall just why |
The quill won’t recognize the paper |
The piano doesn’t know its keys |
The stars are old and can’t remember |
What it’s like to map the seas |
And when I look at you I tremble |
But damned if I know who you are |
A ghostly haze of sweet November |
Lost and senile as the stars |
And here in this forgetting room |
The rising sun’s a setting moon |
And all the world fits in our hands |
And this forgetting room |
Goes to sleep; |
we’re entombed |
By no high command |
There’s nothing more to understand |
But in all the happenstance of nature |
The cruelty without a name |
A random number generator |
Is still a function all the same |
So even if the sky is broken |
Idiotic, blind with age |
I will hold you and keep hoping |
There’s a script to guide the stage |
And it goes on and on |
Here in this forgetting room |
The rising sun’s a setting moon |
And all the world fits in our hands |
And this forgetting room |
Goes to sleep; |
we’re entombed |
By no high command |
There’s nothing more to understand |
And if that’s how it has to happen |
If that’s the way it’s gotta be |
Then I submit against all reason |
A small request for you and me |
Make the universe forget us |
In some old dusty catacomb |
Nameless, numberless, and breathless |
Let our closeness be our home |
First we’d forget why there was fire |
Then forget why there was love |
And I forget what’s next cause I |
Forget what I was thinking of—right! |
We were children when I met you |
Carried in the careless breeze |
Now if you leave me, I would let you |
But what’s the use of memories? |
When now is all your eyes can see |
When I forget the melody |
