Your hands on the strings, And your fingers sing Of another day, Another time, Another place, A memory.
We danced like the blind In a funeral home, And we wore out those strings With a sound that was all our own, Lost in a song, We didn’t even know.
But sooner than later These shadows have all turned to shade, A way to escape, Remembering you: We don’t change.
Walls fall apart And I’ll open the door to your place, Another face, It’s just not the same.
That first night We walked through the streets (I walked alone before), Snow falling, Black sky, And the peace When everything is all right, When everything is all right.
