Patrick Carney - Meter and Line lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things just slip from my mind Sweet memories leave me blind Just like a love song meant for the dead How should the rite be read [Pre-Chorus] I remember the warm embrace I remember the way you taste in my mouth Speak to me in three quarter time Oh my love is a slave to meter and line [Chorus] Oh glorious, oh glorious, oh glorious [Verse 2] Hope of my heart a'trembling Like a winter flowers cold springing I see her lying there unchanged Drifting along the astral plane [Bridge] Even as she was growing thin You could still find her looking into my mind Heavy voice with a velvet look There's a stillness in place of breath that she took [Outro] Closer to me than my anatomy Some things just slip from my mind Closer to me than my anatomy Some things just slip from my mind
