Memory Of A Life Lyrics

Find a state and a meaning that you can justify

Behind a face inexpressive hidden from the light

Until a glance filled with longing from a lover's eyes

Recalls another time, another place

You feel it move towards you from outside your sight

A gentle weight held against you that seems to multiply

Demanding all your attention, it whispers in the night

Was it another time

Was it another place

Feels like a memory

Of the life we made

How long did you hold your dreams until they broke you

How long did you hold onto your sense of virtue

Was the lie so magnificent it forced you to believe

To keep alive that brittle feeling that there still could be relief

It was another time

It was another place

Maybe in our next lives

You'll recognize my face
