Memorare Lyrics

Slipping between us, the ghost & the mourning
Prayers spent finding, a reason to stay
Painful and aching, the balance is breaking
With so many words, I don't know what to say....

Our planets break orbit like paper and water
Delicate dancing on the edge of her lips
Something unsettled, and something remembered
Something forgiven, keeps silent with-in
And she turns to me with tears in her eyes

As if she doesn't see the tempest inside
And our hearts are beating, but no-one is breathing
A small thing I think, so close to the end

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my own
And something sacred, it could be dying - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
Blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
Inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
That I remember...

Oh, Memorare
Oh, Memorare

Kisses left longing, somewhere behind us
Asking for comfort, like cats in-between
And this new regretting, how foolish the choices
That once seemed so meaningful, sturdy, & sane.
Our seconds of silence, last half of forever-
Searching for glimpses that lovers embraced
How close and how distant, we stand to each other
Knowing that nothing, can ever be replaced

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge
And something sacred, moments reflecting - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
Blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
Inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
That I remember...

Oh, Memorare
Oh, Memorare

The clock is ticking, time is escaping- I know I must be standing on my edge
And something sacred, moments reflecting - I know, and I stare with headlights now approaching
Blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost, I must have buried here
Inside I'm reaching, inside i'm pleading, I can't be losing everything...
That I remember...
