Melding shapes against a ruby sky
That was you and I
Unspooled and scarless we were
Shatterproof against the wild world
God, your smile girl
Could silence vanityBut life let go just like an
avalanche
One last dance and our love was
vanished
Now you're a precious name in my
parentheses
You'll forever live in the footnotes of my memoryYou, my love, will always be
My favourite apostrophe
I'll remember you
So remember me
In parenthesesOne sip of gin and I will think of you
How you used to get drunk on
Tanqueray and
Climb on the tavern bar and sing a song
We'd all sing along
"Baby we were born to run!"You, my love, will always be
My favourite apostrophe
I'll remember you
So remember me
In parenthesesSo if you get a feeling now and then
and you're wonderin'
Who's thinking of you, know its
Somebody fixed in the parentheses
of your narrative, in the footnotes of your memoryYou my love will always be
(first moves)
My favourite apostrophe (fixed eyes)
I'll remember you (drawn out...)
So remember me (...goodbyes)
In parentheses
