An End To A Start

from Sleepless Within by James Farmer

lyrics

We used to run for the bus
In the morning sun.
In that lucky French dress,
You weren't the lucky one.
Summer mornings made us shiver,
Only just out of bed.
But your eyes warmed the words
From the books that you read.

Oh, our evenings were the same,
Routes back sometimes changed
And clung to my back through the woods.
Though my hips sometimes ached,
You'd never hear complaints,
Only murmurs from beneath my hood.

We go wherever we used to,
Wherever we've been before.
'Cause we know though the world will change us,
These places won't change at all.

And now the windows pass,
A foot above your smile.
Oh you found it so easy when
The sun couldn't rise.
All with your scarf wrap around
When it was so hard to breathe.
But both you and the sun,
Were so eager for the sea.

Oh, the end always started.
Teeth fell out in my dreams.
I was staring into trouble,
A blood stained sink.
You've gotta learn how to cope
'Cause it's as easy as it seems.
To live out someone else's life
In someone else's dreams.

We race right back,
To your parents' house.
We were out too late,
Wandering around.
Now we're lying on our backs
On the hood of your car,
Headlights on the driveway
Cutting up the dark.
You said: "Who words mean most when they're all we are?"

She goes: "We'll go wherever you need to,
Wherever you need to go.
But all you are is made up of memories
And that ain't enough to show."
