The Mirror

I know you want to be remembered When you go you don't want to go All fruits and flowers of adoration You write things down to make sure they are here I know you want to be forgotten When you go you just want to go All worldly goods of men and nations You write things down to make them disappear In the morning you can't stand to see yourself You barely even answer to your name Where I would use the mirror as TV, my love You would spend the day watching the rain Bouncing off the leaves Unsolved mysteries align in the earth As you wait and observe I know you want to be remembered When you go you don't want to go All fruits and flowers of adoration You write things down to make sure they are here I know you want to be forgotten When you go you just want to go All worldly goods of men and nations You write things down to make them disappear All the birds and bees you have assembled here To talk about the way you kick the ball Half the time I'm hanging on your every word Half the time I pay no mind at all To the dolls around Homeward underground As I hold the thought Watching you holding court I know you want to be remembered When you go you don't want to go All fruits and flowers of adoration You write things down to make sure they are here
