Lyrics

The Sound

[Verse 1]

The embers of memories, of the flame that is past

The way that the drapes cling to the clasps

Of the essence of all that rises and falls is the sound

[Verse 2]

Melody still lingers long after the song

The way that the ground takes claim above

Of the essence of all above and below ground is the sound

[Chorus]

Well, I used to think that life was just an accident

Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again

Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound

Until I heard the sound

[Verse 3]

The embers of memories, of the flame that is past

The way that the drink clings to the cask

Oh the essence of all that collapses or crawls is the sound

[Chorus]

I used to think that life was just an accident

Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again

Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound

Well, I used to think that life was just an accident

Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again

Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound

Until I heard the sound
