Lovers' Lament

Words and Music by Rob Graham

Faint smell of her

The wind brings it to him

Roused from his sleep

With those memories deep

Behind him

She stares at the ceiling

Nothing will soothe her

A lovers' lament

So much time misspent

Behind them

 

They don't know what is going on

And who knows how it all went wrong

A fading scent and a setting sun

Time will pass if they stop holding

Cause it cant go on too long

 

Background noise is all that surrounds him

The constant din is all within

And around them

Days and nights nothing can move her

Stuck in on place

With a fear to face

What's behind them

 

{chorus}

 

Late at night, sitting tight

Dreaming of what was right

Can it really behind them

Cannot eat, cannot sleep

They don't know the days of the week

Oh it's all behind them

Oh it's all behind them

 

The wind moves west

And takes it from him

Fading away

Lost memories

Are all behind them

She stares at the ceiling

Nothing will soothe her

This lovers' lament

So much time misspent

Behind them

 

{chorus}
