I had a dream that we were playing music
I had to leave but I wanted to stay
tried to explain but you told me not to worry
you laughed and said "I died, anyway"
sometimes it feels like everything's important
sometimes it feels like there's nothing to do
up on Van Horne, I stay to watch the sunset
light up the scar of my new tattoo
the one we got for you
and now I have your fox fur stole
now I have your high heeled shoes
these unexpected things you chose
I know they should still belong to you
so what do I do?
when even now,
I don't know how to write this song
I'm scared of getting something wrong
as though there's some right way
to do this with you gone
drinking from your coffee mug
bathing in the fading light
just as I was looking up
a flock of autumn birds took flight
if we have to let you go
if we have to see this through
at least I have the sad relief
of knowing that you know that, too
there'll always be a part of you with me
