Peter Murphy - Things To Remember lyrics

Thing to Remember when writing figures of speech and sound The Power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic Defy logic often Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky Tell us that your lover is the sky When you do that We won't believe you We won't believe you Because saying so makes no sense But we'll see a meaning We'll see a meaning The other thing is the ability to be remembered Love anything Love anything Wasted I cut myself down Cut myself down Wasted Now, Breaking free Breaking free It's no longer me Understand where you come from Floating I'm facing me down Prostrate to the ground Understand Prostrate to the ground Mystery Rain down on my life Down on my life Maybe there is nothing to say Breathing The future is gone The strain of the past The future is gone The strain of the past Sometimes nothing often means The beauty of the human experience Healing Rain down on my life Down on my life Wasted Now, breaking free Breaking free It's no longer me Love anything Love anything Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky Love anything Floating I'm facing me down Prostrate to the ground Mystery Rain down on my life Down on my life Love anything Love anything Love anything Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky Sometimes Sometimes nothing often means The beauty of the human experience These things are to be remembered To be remembered
