Lyrics:

Heres a song that finally you can understand
A minor statement meant to counteract the bland
A list of wraithlike things
That quicken the heart

Just another song; a faded memory
A raison detre for the entire family
I dont remember it well
I was in love for a spell

Copies of Sight and Sound she left lying around on the floor
They said Id forget her voice
Thats untrue
Its just not as sharp as before

Find some transparent words to give security
Another vacant smile that says rely on me
No wait  commitments a bore
Where have I heard it before?

I could have sworn that everything was crystal clear
But I was shackled by a language of ideas
A desert has its own rules
Outside the circle its cruel

Copies of Sight and Sound she left lying around on the floor
They said Id forget her voice
Thats untrue
Its just not as sharp as before

The final verse is often meant to tie things up
But in this case my morals have been most corrupt
I dont remember it well
I was in love for a spell

Copies of Sight and Sound she left lying around on the floor
They said Id forget her face
Thats a lie  its just not as real as before
