lyrics

"All these Times we tried to See"

As your raven hair covered your eyes and shielded what up to then had been our biggest surprise:
A look from beyond you don’t want, but, god-dammit, I don’t mind.
All these slippery things are alone again while I am wiping my heart on someone else’s handkerchief.
Now it’s all dripping on the floor, and I don’t know anymore when to say when.

Please tell me, tell me it’s true.
Please tell me, tell me I grew.

I never bought you one thoughtful gift, I was stuck spinning in circles on the waves of whatever is
hoping to get something transcendent, so I would know what it all meant.

But I saw the blood that comes out of you, a day of reckoning now raining down upon us like we never knew
and the gleam in your eyes, waving goodbye, as our final adieu.

Please tell me, tell me it’s true.
Please tell me, tell me I grew.

Oh, but all these times we tried to see!
Oh, but all these times we tried to see!
Oh, but all these times we tried to see!
