Tom Clarke - Panacea and the Prelogue lyrics

Wait inside By the fire and we'll talk a while I didn't mean to let the years go by Waiting for love Have we come to terms With the lesson that our fathers learned? Impermanent, it flows away Everything goes away [Chorus] I'd follow you, but not this time So I walk in streets unknown Our bodies and their silver just a loan I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down, a lifetime ago I wanna say to all I leave behind And to those I'll never find That I need you to understand, understand, you're not on your own Hold in mind What you value, is it worth the time? The only melodies that I could ever call mine Were friendship and lust Will I feel absolved At the moment when we have it solved? A panacea for the absent soul Still it's never enough [Chorus] I'd follow you, but not this time So I walk in streets unknown Our bodies and their silver just a loan I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down, a lifetime ago I wanna say to all I leave behind And to those I'll never find That I need you to understand, understand, you're not on your own For the art I will sing most anything We are worlds apart I can do it all Lines fade out, but you illuminate The path back home, the path you've shown me As lines fade out, you will illuminate And lead a way back home Lines fade out For the art I will sing most anything We are worlds apart I can do it all
