It’s been a while.
I’ve made peace with the demons you left to haunt me
I’ve made friends of them, some sordid comp’ny
I wonder now how love is sought and then returned
For I have none, no lessons learnt.
It’s been a while
And I have changed as I
Have watched sunsets pass me by
And crowds, and trains and happy trees
Have washed away old memories.
It’s been a while
And now I think what lingers
Like a silk cloth between my fingers
Is a picture I painted with you beside
A picture I know was always a lie.
