Memorial Lyrics

[00:09.91] I wish you had been at your memorial
[00:14.70] Seeing someone proposing on stage
[00:20.12] I couldn't get through my song for you
[00:25.09] When it came to saying your name
[00:30.16] I can still see the room at the hospital
[00:35.83] Pretty, painted tile
[00:40.33] I can still see your skin turning purple
[00:45.85] Milly of the Nile
[00:51.83]
[00:55.60] Can you hear me?
[01:00.91] Did you mean it?
[01:05.84] Did you plan it out?
[01:10.00] Or was it an accident?
[01:13.54]
[01:16.75] Time, time up and down the blue screen
[01:21.42] It's dawn and I'm insane
[01:26.87] Love's just a word and not what the word means
[01:31.31] But I'll say it just the same
[01:36.73] Talking to an entity
[01:42.12] Made of endless night
[01:46.83] I dream in TV dialogue
[01:52.21] A world of shadow and light
[01:58.06]
[02:00.94] I know it don't work that way
[02:06.18] But maybe you'll come back some day
[02:11.40] I know it don't work like that
[02:16.38] But maybe you can take it back
[02:20.01]
[02:48.58] Now that there's no need to say a word
[02:53.65] Can I still make amends?
[02:58.54] But silence, the only kindness I heard
[03:03.99] Forgiveness, the only revenge
[03:08.94] Meeting all of the people
[03:13.61] I've heard of from your past
[03:19.29] Reading through all of your letters
[03:24.45] Looking for your love
[03:28.78]
[03:34.02] You told me that love
[03:38.82] Is when someone asks you
[03:43.14] Please leave me alone
[03:49.28] And you really do
[03:53.94] You looked into my eyes
[03:58.78] 'Til I was your mother and son
[04:03.84] I tried to look away
[04:08.74] But saw you in everyone
[04:14.99] I wish you had been at your memorial
[04:19.89] Seeing someone proposing on stage
[04:26.85]
