I Remember Music

Rocky Votolato

Listen to me partner
I'll speak to you of happiness
I'll tell you about a breakwater
But that was long ago I guess
Now I'm on a time schedule
I'm sure you are as well
I don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell either
So you can let on that you knew me the way I needed to be known
The ghost I am, I was long ago
I gave my life to a memory of music
And she just turned her head

Listen to me partner
I'll tell you how this life was led
So secretly so quietly
I chase around what doesn't exist
Now I'm on a time schedule
I'm sure you are as well
I don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell either
I'll try to look into the eyes of these newborns
And try to see the hope that you see
And not the vacant and desolate shell of experience reflected in me
I gave my life to a memory of music
And she just turned her head
