WRECKAGE
I can't believe I had the nerve to call you
I
don't know what I thought that I would find
I
told you it was just a friendly gesture
The truth is lately you've been on my mind
I heard somewhere that you were seeing
someone
Well I thought maybe that was long
ago
Maybe we could find sometime to talk and
have a laugh
That is if you're ever free
to go
'Cause when I hear your voice
my mind unsettles
And I ache for what we had
so long ago
It's not that it was precious
love
Well no, it wasn't that
I just miss
the you I used to know
I saw your
painting at the exhibition
But not until I'd
gone all the way through
I was leaving when,
just like an apparition
I saw your face
surrounded by the blue
An I read the
words you'd written in the margins
I can see
that your still looking for the truth
I wrote
them down and I still have them with me
It's
the clearest picture that I have of you
I
wish that I was still part of that painting
The one of all the facets of your life
Because my heart is breaking in the margins
you've left empty
I'm afraid that I may miss
you all my life
