pageantry (live) Lyrics

Goodbye to the end of June

Sun dances 'round the room

I'll wait at a table for two

Nighttimes stitched of warmth and bliss

Spun into a milkweed dress

So easy to leave the rest

Remember the way you used to smile

Full of a sadness beguiled

I might need a little while

Forgive me

But it'll take a minute

To forget it

To believe your love was just pageantry

Forgive me

But it'll take me a minute

To live a life without you in it

To believe your love was just pageantry

Held my hand through wild schemes

And selfish lovestruck fantasies

I felt it when you did not

I'm all the pieces that you've tossed

Switch on and off your conscience

Stars shine of indifference

I felt it when you could not

'Cause I'm all the pieces you've tossed

Forgive me

But it'll take me a while

To make one last round the dial

To believe your love was just pageantry
