The One AM Radio - Lest I Forget lyrics
Artist: The One AM Radio
album: This Too Will Pass
When your father's ghost came round, you bade him to please stay, but he just slipped away.
You cried all night in bed, as I held your trembling head.
I said, "
You've lost too much too fast, but this, too, will pass." The last night when you left for your old New England town, by the cold Long Island Sound, your winsome voice was pinched.
When I leaned in close, you flinched.
You'd changed so much, so fast, but I thought, "
This, too, will pass." I rode down the dark street and stopped out in the snow.
I watched my friends through their front window.
They laughed under the lights, but I turned back towards the night.
They don't know not to ask.
Though, this, too, will pass.

They laughed under the lights, but I turned back towards the night.
They don't know not to ask.
