"It All Came Back Today"


Well, he said it like he meant it
But he did not really care
So I sat upon the Eve's embraces
I was never there -
No, I was never really fabled
I was never really lost
I was cunning through that habit of mine
Y'see all the words were lost
Yes, all the words were lost

And you can stand upon your own life
Say it always seemed to seal
There were smiles upon the picture
But I don't know what to feel
And I told a million stories
And I sat down to risk half
But I never really meant it
'Til you came and stole my heart away
You came and stole my heart away

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

Well, the rain scales up
And your soul is drowned
And mother's saying still raise a frown
And mother's saying still makes you see
What you have lost instead of me

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

And even though the starlight falls
And takes your breah away
You still stare up towards the toss
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to be alone
With some kind fretless friend
And even though the Harvest brings
Well, we all begin again
I say we all begin again

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

I would like this sun
Be spoke until I find
I was all remembrance
Until the words got tired
