Remember Me

Remember me

Remember me when autumn leaves

Have climbed inside this earth, blood red 

And deadly shades of gold.

I’m older than the count of days

Each morning sun ignites

And older still than all the aching thought

That sucks the marrow dry.

Hear me cry, oh hear me thrust

This anguish dipped in dirt and dust

Through ages turned as pages

In the book of buried love.

Dig then, friends, dig deep

And laughing weep no more 

For dreams that sing and lead us

Into sleep. 

Rouse yourself, for heavens sake, 

Wake and want the heart so much,

In pain you flame and burn.

This fire, it lies forgotten

In some shallow pit of days,

Where only charred and ashen faces

Hold the memory in their gaze.

Yet sparks survive in corners 

Of some devilish shining eyes,

Whose light is but a bright reminder

That the darkness never lies.

It longs for love, it pines

In perfect pain, for all the tears

To fall as rain and wash the wanting

Of a frozen heart away.

"Play with me, come closer still,

My touch is such that silence whispers

Gently in my wake.

Stand a while and linger in the 

Shadows of my breath. 

Don't be upset when soft upon your

Shores I sit and sing the tide alive.

My medicine is poison to the 

Separated mind, yet such a cure

For deep despair inside it's

Bitterness you'll find.

Remember me."
