The Affordable Floors - A Thousand Days lyrics

From the Album: Drumming on the Walls (1989) I can't remember, the way you carried your name I had a snapshot that I discarded out of pride or shame "Time to talk it out, turn the thing about," So I've been told. I've taken such advice, at first it sounded nice, but now its getting old I called you at your lover's home today, I felt that I should try That's the voice it takes to stay my faith, somewhere inside How I wonder, how I wonder sometimes I can't remember, which one of us was to blame The years surrender, to one September with a thousand days "Keep your chin up son, your day is sure to come," these weary words. Emptying my gla**, I wait for it to pa** as the picture blurs I drove by your family's home today, and saw your child cry Held in our embrace, you dried his face, tight by your side How I wonder, How I wonder what you are Take the time to talk, Give it one more shot, or so I hear I'm not certain that I'm right But I've been putting up this fight for too many years I call you at your family's home at night and sometimes wonder why I can't seem to break this senseless faith in something gone by How I wonder, How I wonder sometimes How soon will we be alone again? I'll take you, take you for everything Don't shout, the children are sleeping still We'll wake together I know we will How I wonder, How I wonder sometimes
