lyrics

"Dust trembling in the sunlight
afternoon stillness
painfully quiet

Glimpse a flicker in the corner
turn your eyes
curtains and breeze

Scent hanging on a pillow
a shape of sheets
body of air

Clock ticking on the bedside
stone-heavy time
for ages to come

In the shadows of your brain
fading memories and refrains
A sense of someone who's been there
but you can find nowhere

Persisting in the doorway
the sound of a step
a trace in your mind

Here no telephone is ringing
echoes and buzz
confusing away

In the shadows of your brain
fading memories and refrains
A sense of someone who's been there
but you can find nowhere"
