Despite the time
And many months
Of the cursed and calloused gaps
We've wrapped around us
And our shifting shores
Of shameless shams
And should have been's

I always seem to see
The outlines of your dreams
On the edge of mine
Which puts me on the edge of my seat

And I'll curse the day I ever met you
Faces have been lost a time within my mind
And drowned in wine
But darling you are still around

It may well be the naked night
That gnaws away
The necessity of skin
The thing that mars the Moon
And makes it so it's bare and bright within

But darling, you are running through my head
And these footprints you're leaving
Are where my memories tread

So I walk softly round the old familiars
Lovers have been lost a time in my mind
And I don't know why
But darling, you are still around

I know our page was in part brief
But please forgive my grievances, you see
It's not that I need you now
You were simply the best brief I have known
And I think that it shows

In the way you linger on
Within my songs
And I still laugh

At the way you live with your drug habits
Many have been lost a time in my mind
But I think you'll find

But darling, you are still around
Darling, you are still around
