Rocky Votolato I Remember Music lyrics

Listen to me partner
I'll speak to you of happiness
I'll tell you about a breakwater
But that was long ago I guess

Now I'm on a time schedule
I'm sure you are as well
I don't believe in letters
And I never learned to spell either

So you can let on that you knew me
The way I needed to be known
The ghost I am, I was long ago
Because I gave my life to a memory of music
And she just turned her head [Incomprehensible]

Listen to me partner
I'll tell you how this life was led

So secretly so quietly
I chase around what doesn't exist

Now I'm on a time schedule
I'm sure you are as well
I don't believe in letters
And I never learned to spell either

I'll try to look into the eyes of these newborns
And try to see the hope that you see
And not the vacant and desolate shell
Of experience reflected in me
I gave my life to a memory of music
And she just turned her head
Oh, she just turned her head, oh
