And so it erodes, from the septum to a numbed aorta
Yet I longed to run as I watched you grow smaller
And finally fade into the long perspective

This time you won’t be calling out and I’ll keep on longing
As you keep on walking

(chorus)
We’ll never walk together through leaves and over bridges
Or hear the sound of bells ringing out from that lone tower

Steps strive towards forever
Yet broken limbs keep this child where he lies
Awol and choking on the bitter taste of desperation
The leaves still turn

This time you won’t be coming back
A lifetime of longing, we all saw it coming
I longed to run

(chorus)

Remember me from time to time
And all I’d sacrifice in my life to share just one last walk with you
Remember me, remember virtue
Remember me

I won’t fade away, just long for another day
