BEAUTIFUL DELETION

In a sea of love
Together in darkness 
We shared light as real as the morning
Like cracked porcelain
She’s a little bit broken
But we were close
Getting closer

We walked in pines in shinning beams
To the museum
We walked in the cathedral
Drank by the river by the old barge
We sang songs around my kitchen table

When do you consider
About those who matter
Pretty shiny things will always distract you
You wake up alone and the world moves on 
Maybe you’ll remember
You’ll see 
What’s gone

The who what where when and why
Her moveable feast of fact or fiction
A fabricator will always deny
So I lay quiet and let her believe it
My phone lights the night as I wait for you once more
Time has run out I can’t wait any longer
There’s nothing left to give to make it right

Beautiful deletion 
Beautiful deletion
Beautiful deletion
Let it go tonight

The carnival flags in the street
Turned red tattered and torn
And the woman who lay by my side
Now a ghost faded into the dawn

There’s not much left but I know what was real
A heart cannot disguise the way it feels 
And I don’t mind if she thinks of me now or not

Beautiful deletion 
Beautiful deletion
Beautiful deletion
Save it all tonight
Save it all tonight
Save it all tonight

There’s not much left but I know it was real
There’s not much left but I know it was real
