[length: 02:27]
[00:00.88]Light struck from the lemon tree
[00:06.26]What if I’d never seen
[00:09.03]Hysterical light from Eugene?
[00:14.43]Lemon yogurt
[00:17.44]Remember I pulled at your shirt
[00:20.17]I dropped the ashtray on the floor
[00:24.35]I just wanted to be near you
[00:28.79]Emerald Park, wonders never cease
[00:34.09]The man who taught me to swim
[00:36.93]He couldn’t quite say my first name
[00:42.96]Like a father, he led Community water upon my head
[00:48.50]And he called me “Subaru”
[00:52.37]And now I want to be near you
[00:56.98]Since I was old enough to speak
[01:03.11]I’ve said it with alarm
[01:05.87]
[01:08.57]Some part of me was lost in your sleeve
[01:14.20]Where you hid your cigarettes
[01:17.95]No, I’ll never forget
[01:20.74]I just want to be near you
[01:25.25]Still I pray to what I cannot see
[01:31.07]In the sprinkler, I mark the evidence
[01:34.47]Known from the start
[01:39.34]From the bed near your death
[01:42.27]And all the machines that made a mess
[01:45.27]Far away the falcon flew
[01:48.98]Now I want to be near you
[01:53.53]What’s left is only bittersweet
[01:59.13]For the rest of my life
[02:02.18]Admitting the best is behind me
[02:07.56]Now I’m drunk and afraid
[02:10.43]Wishing the world would go away
[02:13.47]What’s the point of singing songs
[02:17.32]If they’ll never even hear you?
