Do you know how long ago it was? The woman asked of me I said: I'm not sure As the shame filled up behind my eyes To the edge of it’s bitter sting She said: Here’s the plot and here’s the stone And she handed me a card I walked away and back through the door Towards the reckoning of my heart Through a sea of stone I waded to find a memory unwanted I wasn’t sure what I’d find there I only hoped that I might hear your voice whispering: I'm sorry I remember from the armchair Of the living room you bellowed your decree The final act of a dying man letting go of what couldn’t be Feeble angry words filled the room from wall to wall It was the last time I’d hear your voice in my memory at all You must have wanted to command time With fleeting moments leaving you behind Staring down fate in your crosshairs Forgetting in fact it was I there wounded But you never saw me Now I can’t find you here It’s just a plot and stone But even though you’d gone away You couldn’t leave me alone I can’t find you here I left you on your throne And the scattered memories I have left Don’t even have a home anymore So I came in search of answers To the questions that went unheard Loud were the words that you once gave But louder the silence that soon came so strong Now I need to hear you But I can’t find you here It’s just a plot and stone But even though you’d gone away You couldn’t leave me alone I can’t find you here I left you on your throne And the scattered memories I have left Don’t even have a home anymore I can’t find you here It’s just a plot and stone But even though you’d gone away You couldn’t leave me alone I can’t find you here I left you on your throne And the scattered memories I have left Don’t even have a home anymore
