Absinthe

My love's a star you only saw the traces of

What went before is not no more, it's the embers of

People always catching names too late

And we're all sorry there's no time to make the change

I could hear rebellion rising

I could feel the stars aligning

I could see the wave rising

But I never did seem to find my way back home

My love's a ball I threw to you

Once I was gone, you caught it too

Love ignored erodes in time

Changes shape, went and changed your mind

All I really needed was someone to take me home

Enough absinthe can crush your spirit to the bone

And I could feel rebellion rising

I could hear the stars aligning

I could see the wave rising

But I never did seem to find my way back home

No, I never did wanna find my way back home
