lyrics

Zoe Left

Zoe left quietly
Like the snow leaves the shriveled streets
Like the love that leaves the heart
She disappeared and she won't be back

No tangled streamers on the floor
No dead flowers on the shore
Zoe left just like she came
Out of the blue, as if it was meant-to-be
Showing me a part of me
I was yet to see

I remember nights of gold
When every second was a wrapped box
Turning down no devil's invitation
Matching our imagination
I watched my life tumbling
Over her knuckles like a coin

All the time I knew she was using me
But no one ever used me like she did
And if I ever lose my place in the world
I'll go running to
Her refuge in my head

So glad, so glad
So glad, so glad
So glad, so glad to be
So glad, so glad to be so blue
Sheltered by the skies we flew
The taste of something true
The taste of something new

Zoe’s gone and I am left
Rowing a boat on dry land
The time jam begins to clear
The world goes back to its humdrum beat

And I find myself walking down the street
With a stupid grin from ear to ear
Half a lifetime to get the joke
But there's still another half to live in hope

And I no longer feel the light of morning
Fall like a pillow on my mouth
Cause I know I'll always have
Her refuge in my head
