I'm reaching deep within myself

I'm trying to tell you what I know

I even kept the photograph

Of when I nearly let you go

You separate your love for me

From every single one you had

Away with all that's gone before

Let your shoulder fall



I'm coming for your love today

It's lucky that you came this way

I'm loving how I think about you now

For many years it's been so slow

And only now we start to know

Just what it is to shoot out of our minds



I'm shaking like a newborn tree

My idol left without a trace

I never thought you'd understand

You licked the tears right off my face

I couldn't trust the telephone

It doesn't say the lies you mean

Away with all that's gone before

Let your shoulder fall



Waves of sadness came

On the beach today

Hold on now it won't be long

'Till we're on our way



I'm home for National Holidays

Let's hook up in a coffee bar

Won't you bring your friend who's lost in space

Don't you worry if it's not your car

I'm joking and I think you know

I love it when you're playing dumb

Away with all that's gone before

Let your shoulder fall
