about

shattered piles of memories, that come to pass

lyrics

the foot of the bed
the cliff edge to the shore
the cat, the foot, the claw
the soft compress of the paw

a seaside scene
a walk along the shore
have we ever been
I'm really not so sure

all of these thoughts just holding me down
the memories they beckon me
all of these thoughts just keep turning around
your memory reckons with me

but the mandolin
but the mandolin

the first
drop
falls
onto the first brick of the wall
the last
voice calls
I ready myself for the fall

how many times it comes to me, I've noticed
shattered piles of memories
that come to pass
scripts arrive, swift upon my doorstep
rewritten, bitten, fractured, torn up memories
