Wive's Tale

Last week you
Got lost in
The guest room
And for a couple hours
You didn’t know my name
Today I’m
Lying for the tenth time
Saying «he can’t stop by»
When he’s been dead for ages
But you forgot
But you forgot
Each time when
The tide inside your mind lifts
It sets adrift the moments
And people you held dear
Every loss
Every lapse another death
Curse and mourn
A dozen funerals a day here
Honey you need some rest
Trust me whatever’s next
Just don’t surrender yet
Ah, ah
If all our promises
Escape you in the night
Don’t fret
I’ll hold up both our ends
Ah
Holding your hand
While you’re
Losing your head
And the only thing
Worse than the things you forget
Is the constant reminder
That I could be next
If man is nothing but a pile of sand
With just a little bit of consciousness
And we can’t even trust our memories
How can we have faith in anything?
But the faith that I lost in myself
Found a way to believe someone else
I make no promises
But I’ve got some prayers left
Whatever happens
I won’t live in fear of the end
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
I’m down on my knees
As you’re falling apart
And trusting the One
Who can go where you are
He’ll take your hand
And lead you from the dark
Darling if we forget
He can hold both of our ends
He can hold both of our-
Darling if we forget
He can hold both of our ends
