about

SHE'S ON A PEDESTAL . farewell song . the leaving . fire on boat . all at sea . smashed on a rock .

lyrics

* shut the door to gently as you go - for I don't where I stand - don't be amused by any phrase I chose & try to use to understand you - teach me please the way I should be to slow down - teach me a way to simply gauge to know you now - now that you are moving away .
* close the door to quietly as you leave - for suddenly, I'm listening hard - a dusty answer swimming around me, that's come to name things ill starred - ill starred - a frozen heart - too far - & high flown - never known - to slow you down - now you are moving away .
