Ses Monuments

(album: Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low - 2007)

We walk
We walk with folded hands
And we're careful with our feet
We listen
We listen with open ears
And every word is a kiss is a sigh
Is a promise from beautiful lips

Now this is
This is the way we were
But the rose no longer blooms
And we've taken
What could be our final bow
And the applause we will get
When we get where we go will be ours alone

And when
When I picture you
There upon your wall
Forever in my view
Ses monuments
All the places I will never go with you

Now think of
Think of the community
We'll tell our friends we're dead
And we'll be thankful
Thankful for all we've earned
And I'll be grateful for you, for your warmth,
For the man you've made of me

And when
When I picture you
There upon your wall
Forever in my view
Ses monuments
All the places I will never go with you

Is this what you really want
I can tell by your voice
You're not so sure
And I have to admit that I have my doubts
And sometimes I'm not so sure what this is all about
And I have to admit that I have my doubts
And sometimes I'm not so sure what this is all about

Ses monuments
Forever in my view
There upon your wall
