lyrics

Lost in a memory
Tomorrow's always out of sight
Dark as a mystery
Days are shorter than the light

The sun shines a fleur-de-lis
Rolling through the audubon
Streetcars are telling me
Maybe I'm already gone

You can't give up
Time runs out
Moments fall away like tears
It's not your fault
It's not your doubt
It's not anything you fear

A trail of shiny dust
Inches closer to a flame
So quick to embrace
Anything that brings you pain

Waited so long for you
Gave my secrets to the moon
A tomb without a key
Only gives you someone else's truth

You can't give up
Time runs out
Moments fall away like tears
It's not your fault
It's not your doubt
It's not anything you fear
