Almost Gone - Luke Sital-Singh

I know I lost my innocence

But I think it might be back again

There is a side of everything

I will never ever know

When all the traffic noise is dead

There is an ocean in my head

The silence muffled what you said

Say it clearly say it slow

It’s almost gone, almost gone

The colours in the sky will run

It’s almost gone, the night has come

I guess it’s time we’re moving on

I read a book on happiness

And wrote a letter unaddressed

All of the words that clog my chest

I will never ever speak

Soak up the green forgiving space

The rising smoke and ancient pace

The way it all just hangs in place

You feel stronger, when you’re weak

It’s almost gone, almost gone

The colours in the sky will run

It’s almost gone, the night has come

I guess it’s time we’re moving on

It’s almost gone, it won’t be long

There’s sorrow in the setting sun

It’s almost gone, the night has come

I hope we’ll see another one

Breaking bread underneath

Canopies, promises

Failure is a feature

If you’re human then it’s guaranteed

Tell you who I am

Could you show me who I’m gonna be

Clever sleight of hand

Doesn’t do it for me

Heavy air, glistening, deep dark listening

Falling’s unavoidable, to get away from where you’ve been

I think I have a song

There’s a line in it for you to sing

Would you sing it for me?

It’s almost gone, almost gone

Almost gone, almost gone

It’s almost gone, almost gone

The colours in the sky will run

It’s almost gone, the night has come

I guess it’s time we’re moving on
