SPARKLEHORSE
Something
So fleeting
Destroyed me
Destroyed me
Something
So magical
Tore me
Ttore me
Down
I will wonder
I will wonder
Till my bones are dust
Till my bones are dust
Although the meaning wasn’t clear
I know the moment felt beautiful
I know the moment felt beautiful
And if the sinner lifts my veil
I know the damage will be terminal
I know the damage will be terminal
And in the embers of the sun
Can be the curtain call for everything
Can be the time I have to go
DOWN TO YOU
I’m on my own
I’m pulling shadows in a room where no one knows to find me
I’m missing in action
I’m missing from my own life
Of course I know
The outer me is growing weary even though I’m burning
Passion inside me
Passion for you alone
If I’ve lost my way
it’s down to you
If I’ve lost my soul
my soul was through
I’m on my own
Despite the urge
I know the feeling that I’m feeling Is a
road to nowhere
The soles of my feet now bone
So now you know
It doesn’t mean I think
There’ll ever be a chance to kiss you
The days are behind me
And with them the sense to know
And when I’m gone
You’ll see a star within the sky
where only you can find me
You’ll know I’m watching
And wanting to be with you
The Space Between Us
No usual sequence of the rituals to pair (breath)
No matching records that we couldn’t bear to
grow without
No passing go you’ve found the soul of your dreams
No chance of planning how you’ll share each other’s
wunderlust
The space between us isn’t just in my head
You shine like Summer
Whilst my Autumn is all too real
I’ll never hold you,I’ll never kiss you
I’ll never taste you / we’ll never be as one
No memories made from lazy days in the sun
No coy amusement as-we both-recall
(pause) rooms never left
No bridal dress that’s kept in a box by our bed
No flowers pressed from-a-day
Neither of us wants to forget
No tiny toes or paws that creep into bed
No chance to fuse ourselves as something
we could nurture at best
Just nagging grief for all the things we could be
Just sheer frustration seeing something
that you’d rather not see
No tears of grief
As one is left all alone
A heart that’s broke having been a heart
so thoroughly loved
No funeral flowers that you’d rather not press
A book of memories of a life you shared
with your very best
