My smile is tainted with the nostalgia I feel
Pale blues swimming in my eyes
In the night I see shadows posing under streetlights
Streets lit by faint moonlight
Burning echoes incidentally dancing in the dark
All those men and women living forever in our hearts
Fell apart like the notes of a song
And we tried to put them back together
But the ship never returned, never felt the same
So we take our place, our feet on the floor with no care
She says my drinking is bad
She knows my order like the lines on her palm
And I smile back, but it\'s tainted
I see you there, glaring in black and white photos
And I couldn\'t relate to you anymore
The warm summer breeze flowing through
The words we leave behind, oh how I loved you
Our legs entwined in brotherhood
And I know the years have been unkind to you
Knowing you
Glistening in blooming sunlight
My smile is tainted with the nostalgia I feel
Pale blues swimming in my eyes.
