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 I gave my life to a memory of music And she just turned her head 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
