lyrics

Smoke and pepper filled my lungs on a hazy afternoon
When trees turned the city red and I heard that you were dying.
Crushed and crumpled beneath my feet were the leaves that had their time
The leaves that knew of summer days now gather at the cul-de-sac.

Oh, I’ve never known this kind of pain
Oh, the other side of love.
Oh, I find the image kind of strange
Of walking with the living when you’re…

You called my mother the other night and said the saddest thing
That even if a piece of gold landed at your feet
You wouldn’t even have the strength to pick your treasure up
And the thought of parting with your bones brings you sweet relief.

Oh, I’ve never known this kind of pain
Oh, the other side of love.
Oh, I find the image kind of strange
Of walking with the living when you’re gone
When you’re gone.
When you’re gone.

Somewhere in a wishing well is a coin you gave to me.
It landed on a lucky star at the temple by the sea.
If I could go back in time I would make my wish again
And give you all the happiness that this life has given me.
