Tell me beautiful things that I already know
Natural to forget the words you once said
The shadows stretch longer just after you go
I lose you and find you in dreams and thought-shows
I store up your attention with locks in my head
Tell me beautiful things that I already know
You held me in your lap, your voice singing low
And I felt the departure of arsenic dread
The shadows stretch longer just after you go
The lullaby kept me from rising to go
The love there was real, and heavy as lead
Tell me beautiful things that I already know
Simple to forget, that I could have said no
But tear-stained, I nodded to all that you said
The shadows stretch longer just after you go
I love you in meter, in rhythm and flow
But still need your reminders as my daily bread
Tell me beautiful things that I already know
The shadows stretch longer just after you go
