You followed me, I followed you With new language you lead me adrift To find and swallow you Into this continental rift but Will all songs be ancient text when Affairs of lust and power lost on Railroad tracks or slaveship decks Why has your love become neglect? Somewhere there's a memory A truth that lives in lies An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies Will I live in hiding Between these silhouettes? Will you remember me when everyone forgets? Do you know me anymore? Wasn't I your comfort and your god And weren't you the shore I called you home and cried for you but Sons rise up and Shadow falls Over rooftops, years and eyes are in The hopes that you'll recall Wasn't I a god to you? Somewhere there's a memory A truth that lives in lies An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies Will I live in hiding Between these silhouettes? Will you remember me when everyone forgets? I promise I will still be there Even when I haven't got a prayer Just a lonely stranger in America, but I'm still here Oh, god, I'm here I swear Somewhere there's a memory A truth that lives in lies An echo of the way you knew me under foreign skies Will I live in hiding Between these silhouettes? Will you remember me when everyone forgets?
