the machinery of progress

Forever and a Day

I bet that you would laugh
If you could see me now
Crumpled up and torn
The better part somehow
The memories that I have
I can see right through
Groping in the dark
With nothing to hold on to

Give it some time
And I’ll forget the darkness too
Just give it some time
Forever and a day should do

I took you to a dance
An underwater ball
You brought me to the floor
And then you made me crawl
Across a bed of thorns
Where starry nettles grew
A couch under the stairs
And something to hold on to

Give it some time
And I’ll forget the ocean blue
Just give it some time
Forever and a day should do

And as I bleed out in the highlands
In the show I spat your name
I’ve never felt so empty
As the day I ran away

Give it some time
And I’ll forget my time with you
Just give it some time
Forever and a day should do
