The Last Time I Saw My Face
Liner Notes
Lyrics
They were no longer my eyes Nothing was wrong with the mirror I looked with some shock and surprise And at least a couple of tears Corrosion, decimation Your leaving had filled me with fear Things had started to change At least that much was clear
It was no longer my nose I thought I had to escape You left me one beautiful rose Pinned to the top of the drape One day you were just gone I’m not even sure why I spent that last day at the harbor Being blown by the wind through the sky
They were no longer my cheeks When they melted into something new I was finally disappeared There was nothing else left to do A snip and tug over here A stretch and pull just in case My mind lost and fading away The last time I saw my face
The fading character in this song is a fascinating concept. Everything gels well - voice, guitar - love this!
