I will never leave you and you will never know it
I've never known it so plain
I will be the one to pretend it was nothing
To a blind man each day looks the same
To a blind man each day looks the same
Was it love? Was it travel? Was it true? Was it tragic?
We fucked all but in name
But when you say it's over, I will say it's over
For a banker counts more than the change
A banker counts more than the change
My name in salt, your name in marble
One trace is gone and one stays
I will never leave you and you will never know it
To a player everything is a game
To a player everything is a game
]
La La La La....
My name in salt, your name in marble
The echo will be the refrain
I will hold the secret and you will never see it
For the handsomest flower still fades
The handsomest flower still fades
And as each day goes by we'll have better goodbyes
That's the beauty of time and of scale
But when I close my eyes I will still see your light
For a train only follows its rail
A train only follows its rail
We'll be the ones to pass on forever
For forever will doom us to fail
I will never leave you and you will never know it
To a hammer everything is a nail
To a hammer everything is a nail
