Lyrics

[ 10,000 maniacs ]

She walks alone on the brick lane
The breeze is blowing
A year had changed her forever
Just like her grey home
He used to live so close here
We'd look for places I can't remember
The world was safe when she knew him
She tried to hold him, hold on forever
For all that never happens and all that never will be
A candle burning for the love we seldom keep
The earth was raw in her fingers
She overturned it
Considered planting some flowers
They wouldn't last long
No one to tend them
It's funny how these things go
You were the answer to all the questions
The memories made her weary
She shuddered slowly
She didn't want to
As a distant summer he began to whisper
And threw a smile her way
She looked into the glass
Liquid surface showing that they were melding
Together present past
So where can I go from here?
The color fading
He didn't answer
She felt him slip from her vision
She tried to hold him, hold on forever
So close forever
In a silent frozen sleep
