lyrics

Every other evening,
With a creaking hollow whisper,
There’s a voice outside my window,
With a shadow looking in.

At first glance seems quite jagged,
With the focus slowly shifting,
And a curve now forms the shoulder
Of a shadow looking in.

Like a bell sounding sweetly,
Like a song of spirits rising on the hill,
Like a chime of Sunday morning,
Sings the song.



The window slowly opens,
And I greet the lonely figure,
With a non-transparent handshake,
And my memory is gone.

My memory is gone. 


I remember lying quietly
There on my patchwork blanket,
When the lights began to flicker
And my head began to fill.

That then without all reason
There would enter through my window,
A speaking, slinking shadow
As I breathe there laying still.

So I call out to the shadow,
Crying, "What is it you are seeking?"
As they had most clearly entered,
With two arms and head outlined.

But the figure slowly shifting
Merely hovers there in silence.
The song now hushed to nothing,
Though it lingers in my mind.

Lingers in my mind.


My memory is gone.
My memory is gone.
My memory is gone.
My memory is gone.

Gone, gone.
Gone, gone.
