Pale September - Minus Blue

Why did you remember?

I really thought we lost it

It was such a long, long time ago

It was there before we moved

I thought the former kept it

It was such a long, long time ago

Hiding in the leaves, we’d shelter from the breeze

And the trees are going bare again

The summers come and gone

The autumn sings it song

The winter won’t be long

So well make it last

The time when I came home

And you were crying under the stairs

I didn’t want to know because I was scared

A meeting in the kitchen

My brother wouldn’t join in

To be honest I don’t blame him

He didn’t want to know

The wreckage of our of past

It didn’t really last

And the photographs and quiet kept us calm

The memories often lie

They wouldn’t make us cry

Just keep it all inside and try to forget

The TV’s on but there’s no-one home

And I hope they will come back soon

Cause I feel now that I understand

And I know why we moved away

But it’s all good and well after all

Now everybody knows

We have a new home

And the telephone is not that far away

So forget all what’s been done

Your father’s still the one

And everything is OK

I can just remember

I was sitting in the bedroom

And I felt all of this was too soon

I tried my best to fight it

And you know I won

And I’m glad you stayed right here with me
