Live Forever (Never Die)

from The Howl and the Whisper by Fools of Love

/

lyrics

There's a bird in the sky
I've been watching it fly
In a circle outside the window of my bedroom
Why won't it soar away to some far-off place
And spread its golden wings?
It just flutters nearby, forms a nest in my mind

I've been feeling like a flower that has barely taken root
And I have blossomed but I still have yet to bloom

With the silvery grey and the wrinkles of age
The afternoon light glows warmly across your face
In fragments of memory, lost and retrieved
Assembled patiently into words on a page
Your story is safe

I've been tearing out the pages trying to rewrite and rework
With your initials in the margins full of notes
If only I could live forever and this book would never end
I'd set it up in flames then start it all again
But it's not like that

No, I can't live a lie that I will never die
But I'll go slowly and gracefully into it

The seasons go by with the passing of time
As I carry my pride and regrets alike
But one day I'll pull the weeds
And plant new seeds
In gardens that you grew
Where I blossomed and then finally came into bloom
