lyrics

Old friend, speak to me again
in poetry like when
I was a tadpole and you were a fish
I wish we had more time
side by side
in the slime
the intricate sparkling slime that comprises
the detail of our lives

I meant to let you know
that I never meant to let you go

Tell me the one about faith
the ones about love
I didn't listen hard enough
Your voice is slipping away
I just know it sounded like rivers and wood smoke and meadows and tea to me

I meant to keep a tight grip on that sound
but the fingers of my mind are letting me down

Old friend I'm forgetting, I'm forgetting, and I don't want to, it hurts to

I dreamt that I lost you
woke with a start, broke my own heart when I found it was true
Old friend, I'll raise a glass again
to a time when
I was myself and you were mine too.
