Remains Of The Day

(albüm: What Makes It Through - 2021)

All this time
You were a statue of gold
We gathered round to behold you
Center of gravity
All this time
You held the honey in your hand
The only keys to understanding
Holy charisma

All this time
You were reflected in the faces
Of the people I love
All of the faces of all the people that I love
All my life
You had that chair up on the stage
That crazy chair that you had made
Holy charisma

Could I be noble
Could I still be brave
With the weeds and the wheat
The roosting birds of prey
What do I do with these remains of the day
These remains of the day

All this time
What was I defending
The velvet box or the actual ring
What is the real thing
All this time
I gave the measure I could give
I gave a full measure
Where did it all go

Could we be noble
Could we still be brave
With these weeds and the wheat
The roosting birds of prey
What do we do with these remains of the day
These remains of the day

All this time
All this time
All this time
All this time
All this time
