about

From 'Beyond The Pale' (2002)

Sometimes you just need to appreciate what was and realise that it was good, but bound not to last. Ma cherie, I'm still not a very good listener.

lyrics

MISSING

I hear you, but I don’t listen much
I hear you, but I often lose touch
Thinking back now on the times that we shared
All of those pleasures could never be bad
We did nothing wrong, we tried and we cared
Lost the perspective on just what we had

I see you, but I miss many things
I see you, from the shadows you spring
Remembering too, all the edges too rough
The task we attempted was really too hard
We did nothing wrong, the going was tough
When a full house was needed, we had no cards

To play, then the day came to part
We played, then the house fell like cards
Replayed on the strings of the heart

I hear you, but I don’t listen much
I hear you, but I often lose touch
Memories fade, the face shows the time
Passing so quickly, like ships in the night
We did nothing wrong, in fact we were fine
Tired of our selves we head for the light

To play, then the day came to part
We played, then the house fell like cards
Replayed on the strings of the heart

I hear you, I see you, I hear you, I see you
I hear you, I see you, I hear you, I see you
