Remains of the Day

from The Thief and The Magpie by Thomas Corsaut

lyrics

Why can’t you be around when my heart is broken
You’re a shadow that washes out when my doors are opened
Sometimes what you have is not what you wanted
Now these choices that locked you out are leaving me haunted

The Remains of the day have fallen away
And the place where we stand is just an island (In the dark)

The stars won’t align their time or occasion
A glance as we’re passing by translates into frustration
Your eyes meet with mine when she was there on my shoulder
Too slow to push through the crowd to explain it was over

The Remains of the day have fallen away
And the place where we stand is just an island (In the dark)

Broken open the sand falls through my hands
Broken open the hour glass

Sometimes what you have its not what you wanted

The Remains of the day have fallen away
And the place where we stand is just an island (In the dark)
