Love and pain and sorrow

Keep the band together

She was like my soul mate

Whispered in my ear

Love was playing music

It was all we wanted

Making plastic records

Of our history

How I knew it mattered

To a certain person

Heard the boy in london

Called out from the crowd

Said something that echos

To me ten years later

Wishing that he still called

Like he called that night

Pulling songs from thin air

Pulling songs from bridges

Smell the air in small towns

Where the train line stops

Ever will I love you

Now your chapters over

Ever will I love you

You were good to me

Now a pain in memory

Is a cherished story

Moan about the present

Venerate the past

Love is like a novel

Read the blessed pages

Did I do my best dear

That is all you ask
