The Winds End
Another place that i cannot seem to remember
Another memory that poison has destroyed
You tell me that I dwelt here last december
Below is where I was formaly employed
A fading sign that would once shine out "Open"
Inside a window that was long since boarded up
The dust collects on chairs that now lay broken
The floor is littered with shards of broken cups
I cross the room and stand behind the counter
The moment of epiphany comes not
Only well aged wine do i encounter
So I sit down and pour myself a shot
I sit and think of why my hearts not stirring
You say that this is where i fell in love
But why are these memories not occuring?
All that you have as proof is one black glove
For all I know the glove could be your mother's
You could be lying to me through your teeth
But you intrigue me far more than the others
Who claimed to know my past before the reef
I have no recollection of a lady
Who's heart, you say, had once belonged to me
You tell me that her name had once been Brady
But long since she has lost herself to see
Whether or not your tales have all been true
I will never quite remember my real past
And so i must depart this town and you
And end my once full life of sail and mast
I go my solemn way down road and bend
Not knowing where i go to find my heart
I took my last on this inn called Wind's end
And breathing in the slience then depart
