Lyrics The Be Good Tanyas

The Be Good Tanyas

Only In The Past

Run away to the seashore it doesn't matter

anymore

Doesn't matter anymore

Words dry up and fly away with the passing of

the days

Eventually you just let the stone fall

I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store

You were looking through magazines and you

flew out the door

I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't

wave back

Now you know I understand you're with me only

in the past

Only in the past

My palms are not open they're closed they're

closed

My palms are not open they're closed they're

closed

I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store

You were looking through magazines and you

flew out the door

I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't

wave back

Now you know I understand you're with me only

in the past

Only in the past

Colours streak the sky we laugh and we cry

And we dance in the cool grass with the

fireflies

And we dance in the cool grass sunset birds

Sweet sweet music swallow our words

You set sail and you left this town

Run away, run away, you're so far from me now

So far from me now

I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store

You were looking through magazines and you

flew out the door

I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't

wave back

Now you know I understand you're with me only

in the past

Only in the past
