Here's a song that finally you can understand
A minor statement meant to counteract the plan
A list of wraith-like things, that quicken the heart


Just another song of faded memory
A raison d'etre for the entire family

I don't remember it well
I was in love for a spell


Copies of 'Sight and Sound'
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her voice

That's untrue
It's just not as sharp as before


Find some transparent words to give security
Another vacant smile that says rely on me
No way, commitment's a bore

Where have I heard it before?

I could've sworn that everything was crystal clear

But I was shackled by a language of ideas
A desert has its own rules
Outside the circle it's cruel


Copies of 'Sight and Sound'
She left lying around on the floor

She said I'd forget her voice
That's untrue
It's just not as sharp as before


The final verse is often meant to tie things up
But in this case my morals 've been most corrupt

I don't remember it well
I was in love for a spell


Copies of 'Sight and Sound'
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her face

That's a lie
It's just not as real as before
