You put your hand on top of mine
You're talking fast but talking blind
And I can't bring myself to meet your eyes


'Cos death is slowly covering you
In galaxies of black and blue

And under your skin all his colours bloom

And you're only half here

Like someone left a frail body and took the rest

But I remember when you were strong

Never wanted help from no-one
What you've become is not who I remember


Is this the cooling of the embers?

She's off again through summers past

The smell of rain and freshly cut grass
Seems those ordinary days are the ones that last


Cos he was there, the one you loved
The one you never could let go of
And there's something you know as you're looking up


That your only half here
Like someone left a frail body and stole the rest


But I remember when you were strong
Never wanted help from no-one

What you've become is not who I remember

Is this the cooling of the embers?

Is this the cooling of the embers?

Cos you are not who I remember

It's like you are a child, you are a child, you are a child once more
And all of our yesterday's have gone


You put your hand on top of mine
You're talking fast but talking blind
And I can't bring myself to meet your eyes...
