lyrics

Talking About You In The Present Tense

When the sun rises and when it sets
When the shadows turn into silhouettes
As darkness falls and the world forgets
I’ll be talking about you in the present tense

When the rain falls and the wind blows
When they fall asleep to the sound of falling snow
And they can’t recall anything they’ve known
I’ll still talk about you in the present tense

Precious moments then it’s gone
Suspended strands of gossamer
Laugh and treasure memory
Raise a glass of melody
And breathe, and breathe

When the moon shines and the stars are tears
When the calendar’s pages turn to years
As regimes fall and ice caps disappear
I’ll still be talking about you in the present tense
