I Remember Music

Listen to me partnerI'll speak to you of happinessI'll tell you about a breakwaterBut that was long ago I guessNow I'm on a time scheduleI'm sure you are as wellI don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell eitherSo you can let on that you knew me the way I needed to be knownThe ghost I am, I was long agoI gave my life to a memory of musicAnd she just turned her headListen to me partnerI'll tell you how this life was ledSo secretly so quietlyI chase around what doesn't existNow I'm on a time scheduleI'm sure you are as wellI don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell eitherI'll try to look into the eyes of these newbornsAnd try to see the hope that you seeAnd not the vacant and desolate shell of experience reflected in meI gave my life to a memory of musicAnd she just turned her head
