Henley's Ghost

Bacardi and cola. 3 AM

Lights dance as I float above your bed

A walk from the guildhall to the sea

We both slowly forget us

We fade and wane as time evicts our memory

And if I don't see you now, well goodbye

When the world falls apart, I'll keep in mind

When you were mine

Love in decline

Each year it hits me harder and that's not on you

I collect the years like bottle caps from my youth

Tell John I miss him, tell my brother of my love

And how I'm growing colder,

How this world's weight is too much

How I'm just not enough

And if I don't see you now, well goodbye

When the world falls apart, I'll keep in mind

When you were mine

Love in decline

When you were mine

When you were mine

When you were mine
