Laura From Memory

(专辑： The Hipsters - 2012)

Laura you can't write back now
And you can't stop my time running out
You can't laugh and you can't sing
And you can't share the things I think

But the wall, the clouds the misty light
The pylons reaching to the sky
The bridge, the ramp the ferry road
Everything I can't let go
Your face your smile your words your breath
The cheap mementos I've got left
The look of fear 'don't leave me now'
Don't leave me now

I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that's never enough

Laura give me one last night
Before you take that long, dark drive
One last time all on our own
Just us, a room and words. Alone.

And the world, the seas the beach the sound
The towns that nearly brought you down
The dread of night, the fear of dawn
The certainty this life's gone wrong
The sleeps, the pills, the tears the rage
The years of hope, the missing days
Let them all just slip away
Slip away now

I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that's never enough

We wait, we hope, we pray
For the night to go away

I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that's never enough
