Garden Of Remembrance

He hears a voice
 He tries to recognise the source and place the name
 A face so familiar, the smile soft and warm
 The memory evades him, his mind wanders on
 Down rabbit holes
 A darkened maze a place to hide and be alone
 Where thoughts land like snowflakes in the palm of his hand
 Swift melting moments, his tears a surprise
 He tries to remember just what made him cry
 With the beautiful stranger who was holding his hand
 He's lost between the here and now
 Somewhere that he can't be found
 She's still here
 Her love a ghost of memory
 She'll wait for an eternity
 He's still here
 ♪
 The empty room, moth eaten curtains
 Drunken drapes hold back the light
 But for solitary sunbeams on dull chandeliers
 Colourless butterflies, their fate now revealed
 In silken webs forever held within the sails of yellowed shrouds
 That gather dust above the dance hall floor
 ♪
 The silent space
 She stands alone and in her heart she hears the sound
 The sweet lift of music that drew them so close
 Their first dance together with a world at their feet
 Not so long ago
 ♪
 He's lost between the here and now
 Somewhere that he can't be found
 She's still here
 Her love a ghost of memory
 She'll wait for an eternity
 He's still here
 ♪
 They work the soil
 They sow the seed, they're side by side upon the earth
 Growing together now forever apart
 With a love so embracing, held in their hearts
 But nothing between them, no memories shared
 No recognition in his soft, pale green eyes
 He's lost between the here and now
 Somewhere that he can't be found
 She's still here
 Her love a ghost of memory
 She'll wait for an eternity
 He's still here
 He's lost between the here and now
 Somewhere that he can't be found
 She's still here
 Her love a ghost of memory
 She'll wait for an eternity
 He's still here

 And they're still here
