Nothing Gold (to All I Lost in 2005)

It's late outside and tired
You haven't called, I swear you haven't called since days now,
Haven't stayed since weeks now,
Haven't claimed since months now this passion-stricken heart.

Tears form on unrelated scabs
But my mind keeps pedaling back to a time
When I gave you my all, all my songs and a quivering, freezing hand

But that's only tune and lyrics now

Only memories, only poetry, stories, dreams and therapy
You're only photos now, you moved on
Why can't I move on?, Oh, I can't move on

It rained that night, not from the sky
You wouldn't move, I swore you wouldn't leave me baby,
Swore 'don't leave me baby',
Knew I'd tell you baby how I saved another's life

Then tears and waking, walking sleep
But my ears hear conversations deep when I gave you my word,
All my heart and a nurturing, patient lead

But that's only stones and flowers now

Only memories, only poetry, stories, dreams and therapy
You're only photos now, you moved on
Why can't I move on?, Oh, I can't move on

Move on
Oh, how much will I lose until its all, until its all
Gone?
You were mine once now you're a, now you're a
Song
