Song of Passing

I was halfway through "A Long December"
When you walked into a seedy room
A blue winged angel were you
I haven't seen you since last June
But when you smiled, you left forever

You, you're burning away
You buried yourself away
And I'll burn down

I recognised everything about both of you
You twisted me, I broke my neck to see
Until you smiled and left me
Disaffected and disillusionary

You, you're melting away
Hold onto the ground, so down
And I'll fall down

You helped me fall down
So wrong was I to doubt
It's too late to take it's go-ver

You took it away
Removed it yourself to pay
For all my pain

Too late to hesitate
Too late to ever change
Only someday, it's yesterday
Take away what you left in place

I was halfway through
The longest window that I ever knew
I'd been so hopeless, I felt so ordinary
Until you smiled away
I played along, 'Cause you're just yesterday

You took it away
Removed it yourself to pay
For all my pain

You're melting away
Hold onto the ground, so down
And I'll fall down, down, down

You're burning away
You buried yourself away
And I'll burn down
