Cooling Of The Embers

You put your hand on top of mine

You're talking fast but talking blind

And i can't bring myself to meet you're eyes

'cos death is slowly covering you

In galaxies of black and blue

And under your skin all his colours bloom

And you're only half here

Like someone left a frail body and took the rest

But i remember when you were strong

And never wanted help from no-one

What you've become is not who i remember

Is this the cooling of the embers?

She's off again through summers past

The smell of rain and freshly cut grass

Seems those ordinary days are the ones that last

Cos he was there, the one you loved

The one you never could let go of

And there's something you know as you're looking up

That your only half here

Like someone left a frail body and stole the rest

But i remember when you were strong

Never wanted help from no-one

What you've become is not who i remember

Is this the cooling of the embers?

Is this the cooling of the embers?

Cos you are not who i remember

It's like you are a child, you are a child, you are a child once more

And all of our yesterday's have gone

You put your hand on top of mine

You're talking fast but talking blind

And i can't bring myself to meet your eyes...
