I remember you
in that vivid blue,
in our salad days,
like a dream I knew
would be over soon
(and that’s what made it seem
so beautiful).
Do you remember me?
I was staying gold.
I was still in tune.
I was coming up.
I was making moves.
And the summer moon
in the summer sky
was a perfect thing.
I never wondered why.
There will be no more counting curses;
I will pay my debts
in the life I have left.
I should be running now but it won’t let me go.
It won’t let me go.
This year has been a slow defeat
[I dream, I wake, in hands I hold]
and I don’t know what’s up with me.
[a loss, a wake, we hope, we pray.]
Everything I touch just turns to stone.
[A hope, a dream, a home.]
When you’re on your own,
when the winter’s rough,
when the love that’s left
is the realest stuff
and in autumn leaves
pile the passing years
and you wonder how
you found yourself here:
soon the birds will fly,
soon the trees will grow,
soon the bells will ring,
soon the moon will glow.
And that summer moon
in that summer sky
will be a perfect thing
on a perfect night.
(On a perfect night.)
There will be no more counting curses;
I will pay my debts
with the life I have left.
I should be running now but it won’t let me go.
It won’t let me go.
This year has been a slow defeat
[I dream, I wake, in hands I hold]
and I don’t know what’s up with me.
[a loss, a wake, we hope, we pray.]
Everything I touch just turns to stone.
[I dream, I wake, in hands I hold
a loss, a wake, we hold a hope, a dream.]
You’re not alone.

I got to know TS thanks to them supporting The Cure in 2016. Now, six years later, I was in the same place tearing up to the climax of every song in their set. Such a phenomenal sounding and raw live recording. furtherdowncol
