The place where you lay beside me
Is still warm with your scent
And my hand lies on the bed
Palm down sometimes I can feel you breathe
I see you crashing through my thoughts like always
At night I lie awake to watch you dream
Cause the daylight finds me alone again
With a river of consciousness
Streaming through my window
Distorted by the summer heat
Like the cellophane gardens downtown
They were your favorite
Death could not touch them
And sometimes I find myself dancing with
Your ghost on the wall
Then I m alone with your violet eyes and
I cash in our memories at the drive-in
Because they scream of you
Yeah, maybe it s easier this way
But no, it s not better this way.
