about

For Patrick Cowley.

lyrics

I’ve lost all track of time again,
Been writing of dance floors and drugs again…
But tell me, what do I know?
Tell me what do I know?

When I said it was the Bad Brew
That it’s all just in my head,
That it’s not me responsible
For who’s in my bed
(I said)

Dear Patrick,
Dear Patrick,
Dear Patrick,
Dear Patrick,

Your words on the page seem to know the answer,
My moon’s in Gemini, supersedes my rising Cancer
Tell me why all the stars align up high,
When your music’s playing
Fuck it up,
Blast it.

High time we survived.
Could have been the moon,
You’re so far away, but I can feel you tapping
Your heel, I kneel to pray that we can
Still dance, with the romance,
Pornographic.

I’ve lost track of my growth again,
Been feeling just like that young boy.
Taking nothing from what started in me,
I guess sometimes you grow from what you took.
What a fucking crook.

Dear Patrick,
(I’m looking for the answers in your words)
Dear Patrick,
(I’m feeling so alone now, I need your words)
Dear Patrick,
(I’m looking for a memory, replacing mine)
Dear Patrick,
(I’m needing what you wrote down to stay alive)

Your words on the page seem to know the answer,
My moon’s in Gemini, supersedes my rising Cancer
Tell me why all the stars align up high,
When your music’s playing
Fuck it up,
Blast it.

High time we survived.
Could have been the moon,
You’re so far away, but I can feel you tapping
Your heel, I kneel to pray that we can
Still dance, with the romance,
Pornographic.

I just wanted to say,
That I’m forever your guy.
You spoke a language that,
You soared through time and found my hand
You wrote what I failed to understand
You don’t lose love, you lose the man
You don’t lose love, you lose the man
So the longer you love, the longer you live
And if that’s true, then baby forgive
Me for getting lost in yours,
So this is just a letter to you.
To tell you all the things that you do.
Those memories aren’t my own,
And no love runs through these bones.
And How can bells be unsung, when lovers haven’t sung…
Their tune for quite sometime.
Now hallowed grounds rewind,
Our love to call our own….
Dear, Patrick.
