I'll remember you always
Precious things not yet forgotten
Like my first, second skin
With my first jump into water
In that wild, blue embrace
And the dark bite of November
I remember
As the wind whispered of fate

I'll remember you always
Among the first of the surprises
In the summer of my spring
As a whistling adventure
As a song of foolish joy
And the rising bounce of green grass
As time passed
As it lifted birthday boy

How could you?
How could you disappear?
Oh, how could you?
How could you disappear?

I'll remember you always
Until the end of the last ember
'Til no one knows my name
As we crept into your bedroom
Let our fingers trace your sheets
With an air of still about you
That devout hue
As you drifted into peace

I'll remember you always
As one of few things best forgotten
Through a faded film of shame
In the eyes-locked lust of first love
With the thrill of what we'd found
As we clutched our sacred secret
Swore to keep it
Swore to never make a sound

How could you?
How could you disappear?
Oh, how could you?
How could you disappear?

Every fateful celebration
Every painful souvenir
Every look of wide-eyed wonder
Every all-consuming fear

How could you?
How could you disappear?
Oh, how could you?
How could you disappear?

Thought it was ELBOW!
Thought it was Guy Garvey for a moment. Very nice though.
 “the summer of my spring” hooked me, then i scrolled back to read all the lyrics before the song ended.

It is a bittersweet story. I thought that I might have experienced a similar secret relationship but no.
For a moment i felt deep sorrow, then joy. Better to have loved!

I gave it an 8
I quite like this. My 7 helped to bump it from 4.7 to 5.2 Hopefully it will go a bit higher than that.

Definitely, but more mellow...

My user interface says it hasn't been played in the last 30 days. Maybe never before.
so many bands using noise - it’s weird, like thick breathy drums and static… modern synths are doing this. I am not a huge fan and it might grow on me because I like the chorus
