Everything But Scattered Lyrics

Forty days and forty nights of strange

You never promised anything more promising than change

Time passed a bit too slow

I was thinking you'd never go

Then you left me

Did you ever say you really cared?

I couldn't tell the good from the bad when you had your talons bared

A slip of the tongue, a wink of the eye

Another lifetime passed us by

When you left me

You left me everything

You left me everything but scattered on the wind

Piling up the pieces left unplayed

Invitation only for our twisted masquerade

Chain lightning from on high

Was better than a sad goodbye

When you left me

Did we try too hard or not at all?

Every minute passing makes it harder to recall

If you're so clever, dear

Why didn't you disappear

When you left me

You left me everything

You left me everything but scattered on the

Scattered on the wind

On the wind

When the wind blew

Oh how our cradle fell

No parachute or brakes were there to slow it

Our little story

Grew too horrible to tell

But then why should I bother when you know it?

Disconnected images parade

I might have forgotten them if you had only stayed

I slapped you with my painting hand

A picture that I never planned

When you left me

When the dampened road reflects the sun

I'll think of shiny boots and loaded waterguns

I had to laugh again

And I even let you win

Then you left me

You left me everything

You left me everything but scattered on the

Scattered on the

Everything but scattered on the wind
