I Remember You

You cry all night because the day's too long Although your tears have never left you strong You pacify yourself with moon and song And shun the mirror and the sun And all the joy of others fun Because the good times feel all done I remember you So strong and assembled No fear of the new The youth you resembled But all that is left just leaves you bereft I remember you I remember you You'd run all day and never break a sweat You had no doubts, you'd always take a bet You never knew the pain of love's regret You felt the tightness in your skin Your eye was sharper than a pin And every battle you would win I remember you So cool and together You knew what to do Whatever the weather But all that is left has left you bereft I remember you I remember you I've a memory of waterfalls and silent seas Just you and me Lost in canyons drowned in evening light I've seen the stills All faded now All faded now... I should be glad of all these things because To gain a life you have to make a loss But you'll never know the man that I once was... He felt the tightness in his skin His eye was sharper than a pin And every battle he would win I remember you So strong and assembled No fear of the new The youth you resembled But all that is left just leaves you bereft I remember you I remember you So cool and together You knew what to do Whatever the weather But all that is left has left you bereft I remember you I remember you
