lyrics

Still working out what I would say
To all the ones that got away
The ones who staked their claim inside
Who conquered, then did not divide.
The ones I never got to hold
Who in their youth already old
Showed me how the flesh is weak
To those shy spirits, could I speak?
I’m sorting out the words I’d choose
If finding nothing left to lose
I took the chance to start again
To squarely face each could have been
Delivering just speech
As meaning whispered each to each
Nursed grievances have kept at bay
All the ones that got away
And you. To you such talk is cruel.
To you, who stay, always too much to say.
Now sirens passing by outside
Sound tentative – they can’t decide.
They’re holding back a little bit
Racing hearts, but can’t commit
An urgent message just the same
And anyway I changed my name
I named each one again today
To silence all the ones that got away.
