lyrics

I found her on the floor that night
I'd seen her there before
I waited till the stars died down
And then I'd wait some more

The picture of her mother
Held tight across her chest
She waited till the time was right
The picture was her gift

The sound it started overnight
At first it was so faint
The sound came from the void that night
I knew I couldn't wait

The picture was quite a site
A woman circumspect
The rubies filled her mothers eyes
She hung them round her neck

I dreamt I was falling down a stairwell
Her eyes told me to never leave
In another life she knew me

We didn't know what hit us that night
Our love would soon be born
She picture of her mother
Held tightly, now was torn

I told her not to worry that night
I lied and said I swore
The picture of her mother
Lay in tatters on the floor

I dreamt I was floating on embers
And I could barely see her walking away
And all I could help but say was
It's not over is it?

I woke up lying on the floor
I swore I had seen all of this before
All the things I had to abhor
And the picture disappeared from under my

And all I could help but say was
It's not over is it?
