Paul Quillen - On Moving Lyrics

This damn rainy weather will carry me away
Out from the safety of our love
Packed in the back are all my stupid things
I've always been too fond of

Strange how many years
Can disappear with the close of a door
And how a sacred space can
Be a home you'll never return to again

Well so long my angel we failed in our dream
Of sculpting a refuge around us
But as people grow they often grow apart
Until cracks appear in their fortress

And pieces left in me
The warmth of your hands your body I know
Vanish like a dream in one quick arc
Our love has been blown away

And so like a pirate, I'll steal away
Pushed from the gangplank of our love
I'll arm wrestle sadness and do what I can
To accomplish constant distraction

And I will limp through days
And watch as your smile fades from my mind
And just as everything, our love will fade
To shadows stretching through time
