Meter And Line

[Verse 1:]
Some things just slip from my mind
Sweet memories leave me blind
Just like a love song meant for the dead
How should the rite be read.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I remember the warm embrace
I remember the way you taste in my mouth
Speak to me in three quarter time
Oh my love is a slave to meter and line.

[Chorus:]
Oh glorious, oh glorious, oh glorious.

[Verse 2:]
Hope of my heart a'trembling
Like a winter flowers cold springing
I see her lying there unchanged
Drifting along the astral plane.

[Bridge:]
Even as she was growing thin
You could still find her looking into my mind
Heavy voice with a velvet look
There's a stillness in place of breath that she took.

[Outro:]
Closer to me than my anatomy
Some things just slip from my mind
Closer to me than my anatomy
Some things just slip from my mind.
