Recalling the Truth - Robyn Hitchcock

Recalling the truth

The way that it seems

The way that it falls

Between you and your dreams

The way you said «yes»

As you followed me in

You been gone

So long

Recalling the truth

Now what could that be?

The truth can just change

Like the tide on the sea

When the river runs out

And the mountain grows still

You’ve been gone

So long

A kiss on the stairs

A heartbeat embraced

A kiss in the morning

On the side of your face

Recalling the truth

A window of bliss

That open’s just once

For the price of a kiss

If the price is too high

Then to pay it’s a sin

You’ve been gone

So long

You hide from yourself

But it’s tracking you down

It was me that was lost

And it’s you that i’ve found

Recalling the truth

Whatever that was

It doesn’t last long

Whatever does?

Do the men always end

Where the women begin?

You’ve been gone

So long

You’ve been gone

So long

You’ve been gone
