Memory is taken for granted - but, it's so fragile...

Don't know whose party it was
but I did know the floor
I'd been drinking all night long and I
couldn't take any more
Lights went out at daybreak stirred at
three in the afternoon
Next thing I saw was a starry night
turning over I was on the moon

Just make out her breathing, and the
rise and fall of the sheets
Dark hair splayed on the pillow, on my
face her breath was warm and sweet
Well maybe I'm getting better 'cause felt
guilty not knowing her name
But I caressed her in the moonlight
please god capture this night in my brain

The shadow I cast, is fading away
Though my friends all say that I’m looking ok
I’ve started on a journey, crossed a new frontier
Let me tell you while I can
I’ll always be here

Familiar streets roamed lost
with a suitcase in each hand
Don't know where I'm going to
can't remember what it was I'd planned
Then a car pulls-up along side and a
woman gently takes my hand
See her dark hair on the pillow
She holds me and now I do understand

The shadow I cast, is fading away
Though my friends all say that I’m looking ok
I’ve started on a journey, crossed a new frontier
Let me tell you while I can
I’ll always be here

Sitting on the shore, trying to be brave
Building up defenses with each dig of a spade
But as fast as there’re built up
They crumble down with each wave

The shadow I cast, is fadiing away
Though my friends all say that I’m looking ok
I’ve started on a journey, crossed a new frontier
Let me tell you while I can
I’ll always be here

Let me tell you while I can
I’ll always be here
I’ll always be here
