Out of sight, out of mind
But I thought that you would stay
I heard the bells chime and I saw the smile on your face
And doves flew and laughter flickered
And the music spread its grace
Your voice was strong but empty
Your words weren’t yours
You smiled but didn’t feel it
And then you were gone
The second time you left
It was worse;
My breath was lost
And I was faithless
And it didn’t make sense
You hadn’t said that you loved me
And yet doves had flown and music had spread
Nevertheless
Out of sight, out of mind
And the memory fades away
And doves don’t fly
And I can’t see your face anywhere
But I thought that you would stay
I heard the bells chime and I saw the smile on your face
And doves flew and laughter flickered
And the music spread its grace
Your voice was strong but empty
Your words weren’t yours
You smiled but didn’t feel it
And then you were gone
The second time you left
It was worse;
My breath was lost
And I was faithless
And it didn’t make sense
You hadn’t said that you loved me
And yet doves had flown and music had spread
Nevertheless
Out of sight, out of mind
And the memory fades away
And doves don’t fly
And I can’t see your face anywhere
