Lucy Spraggan - All That I've Loved (For Barbara) Songtexte

They didn't ask him to leave when the bell rang,
drinking whiskey much older than I am.
I sat and I watched him, watching his watch
and he turned round and asked me the time.

The waitress wandered across from the kitchen,
she was ever so slightly singing.
A song he once knew,
a beautiful tune.
And he wished that he knew it once more.

He asked me
'Where do you go, when your mind doesn't work with your soul?
I have memories made.
Now I can't put a face to a name.
Do you know who I am?
Where did I go?
And where have I been?
Do you know who I am?
All that I've loved and all that I've seen seems to go.'

There she sat with her tea in the garden,
didn't remember why we were arguing.
the point had been lost, she forgot where it was,
so she told me the story again.
She had told me to look in the kitchen,
she said some of her things had gone missing.
They all had been stored where she kept them before.
It's was only her mind that had changed.

She asked me
'Where do you go, when your mind doesn't work with your soul?
I have memories made.
Now I can't put a face to a name.
Do you know who I am?
Where did I go?
And where have I been?
Do you know who I am?
All that I've loved and all that I've seen seems to go.'

Every breeze running through every tree and every fallen leaf,
that's you, my friend.
I know the world will change
but you will know my name
when I see you again.

Do you know who I am?
Where did I go?
And where have I been?
Do you know who I am?
All that I've loved and all that I've seen seems to go.
