Eventually you just let the stone fall



Run away to the seashore.
It doesn't matter anymore
Doesn't matter anymore...
Words dry up and fly away
With the passing of the days
Eventually you just let the stone fall

I dreamed that I saw you
You were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines
And you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past.
Only in the past.
Only in the past.
Only in the past.

My palms are not open. They're closed, they're closed.
My palms are not open. They're closed, they're closed.

I dreamed that I saw you
You were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines
And you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past.
Only in the past.
Only in the past.
Only in the past.

Colours streak the sky.
We laugh and we cry
And we dance in the cool grass
With the fireflies
And we dance in the cool grass...sunset...
Birds sweet sweet music
Swallow our words.
You set sail and you left this town
Run away, run away.
You're so far,
So far from me now.
So far from me now.

I dreamed that I saw you
You were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines
And you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past.
Only in the past.
Only in the past.
Only in the past.

—Be Good Tanyas / Only in the Past
