about

I met and befriended my deceased lover's other woman at his funeral - her name was Jasmine

lyrics

For Jasmine – A Ghost Story

Hold on
Jasmine
With your jaune-skin love
And your dark stone eyes
That saw him
Like I did Like I did
Hold onto his memory
And I will too
I’ll remember him
For you

V1
Hold on to thoughts
To lay me down
Eyes closed pain caught
Behind a frown
Skin on skin
Mine can’t feel
Cold to touch
Seems unreal

Stop and start
No rhyme or reason
Beats out of time
My heavy heart
Stars go on without us
Shiny bright
The moon and me
Move into night

CHORUS
What you lose you find
Mmmh
What you lose you find
Mmmh

V2
Wake up to time
With no seconds in it
Grasp at lines of light
Fragmented minutes
A present tense
That doesn’t fit
I mouth his name
But cant make sense of it

Say hello
To this tear stained face
To this chasmic
Inside me place
To this most
Unwelcome dawn
To this he
That cant be gone

CHORUS
What you lose you find
Mmmh
What you lose you find
Mmmh

Violin instrumental
MIDDLE 8
Ahhh
You must have been there
Before me
Imagine my surprise
When I learned to love
Ahhh
Your love for him
To see it all
Through your eyes
To empathise (ghost)


V3
We’re left here now
With signs and spirits
Past understanding
Just living with it
I’m letting go
Of bone and breath
His beating heart
There’s little left

Except a trace (whisper)
That whispers by
Too indistinct (whisper)
To quantify
Too sweet to sour
Too quick to still
Too here too gone
Too warm too chill

What you lose you’ll find
