While performing for passengers
Than her mother's half -baked recipe
Than early autumn leaves deafene
and sickened by the trees
of your insipid inspiration
infamous verb -cursive rebounds
insidious and ob vious, un glamorous
God, it's great to have you back in town
Guess I should've no ticed
But I never said I love you
Or even that I missed you
I never once said I just wanted to kiss you
Love in action, lacking in detail
Well ain't tomorrow from the past
very first time, my dear?
Did she dream the accident
And the grinding of steel
and the laughter of the word
than the passing of disease
There's still echoes in the canyon
Trickling out over the past
Through the poorest explanation
Except this one was meant to last
would her pain be re vealed?
Still the warmth was soothing,
Just like the glaciers that
The emotion and tear that you cried
Than the flowers in full bloom
what's in store for you too soon
In the softest of situations
The hardest weakness to conceal
The most pleasurable indecision
Lack of anything left to feel
Love made by fire or frozen from regret
Every particle of hope and faith
fused motionless from neglect
Hard -won battles for forgiveness
with their knowledge of defeat and war
Love ripples away in fading circles
from your cast -off from the shore
But the pain was brighter
When the shackles of summer's past
The surrender was more sus picious
To be finished at any cost
What you want, and all you abandon
In the end, was exactly what you lost
