A New Song

from Beauty Must Suffer by Joshua Starmer

/

lyrics

Does she remember when they first met
The ground was wet the sky was dark and grey
Ankle boots with a long dress
A rubber band wrapped around her wrist
She hummed a tune and he fell in love
Fell to quickly he remembers that day

A long walk on a forest trail
Hand in hand they sang as one
He brushed a strand of hair from her face
Touched her lips raindrops kissed the leaves
He took a step back looked in her eyes
She smiled at him he remembers that day.

Underneath a sheltering sky you learned a new song
In the blink of an eye you had to move on

Deep wounds take time to heal
He has a scar he keeps it out of view
Sometimes he tries to trick himself
Other times he knows he sings alone
When it rains he starts to cry
He fell too hard he remembers that day

Underneath a sheltering sky you learned a new song
And in the blink of an eye you had to move on
Looking back on your life, you said it seemed so long
Watch a full moon rise, you counted all wrong.
