lyrics

You polished gilt to brightest gold
With the stories that you told
I was glad to build a life on all the lies
But now I'm standing in our room
Just the memory of you
It's death that finally saw through our disguise

Why did I let you take me and turn me
To someone I never meant to be?
Now you're gone, but your ghost lingers on
In the breeze as it drifts from the sea

Do the breakers still crash on the shores we once trod?
Will I find you there if I return?


I set my bearings to your light
Ever wrong and ever right
The compass from your fingers cruelly swung
I hear your tread upon the stair
Though I know that you're not there
Your voice is always heavy on my tongue

Why did I let you use me and change me?
I wanted you more each passing day
I'm alone in this place we called home
Nothing for me if I stay

Do the years still stand guard over memories so old?
Will I find you there if I return?


Why did I let you fill me and keep me?
A fishhook I couldn't resist
Nothing more on that faraway shore
That treasure no longer exists

If I set out again to that distant horizon,
Will I find you there if I return?
