Lyrics

Remember once I told you about

How before I heard it from your mouth

My name would always hit my ears

As such an awful sound

And the soul, if that’s what you’d call it

Uneasy ally of the body

It felt nameless as a river undiscovered underground And the first time that you kissed me

I drank dry the river Lethe The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same But you spoke some quick new music

That went so far to soothe this soul

As it was

And ever shall be

Unearth without a name

Some part of me must have died

The first time that you called me ‘baby’ And some part of me came alive

The first time that you called me ‘baby’

These days I think I owe my life to flowers

That were left here by my mother

Ain’t that like them… gifting life to you again

This life lived mostly underground

Unknowing either sight nor sound

‘Til reaching up for sunlight

Just to be ripped out by the stem

Sensing only now it’s dying,

Drying out, then drowning

Blindly blooming forth its every colour

In the moments it has left;

To share the space with simple living things

Infinitely suffering but fighting off,

Like all creation,

The absence of itself

Anyway…

Some part of me must have died

Each time that you called me ‘baby’

And some part of me stayed alive

Each time that you called

Each time that you called…

C’mere

Ooh la la, ooh la la

What ever keeps you around, it keeps you around Ooh la la, c’mere, ooh la la

What ever keeps you around, it keeps you around

The last time it was heard out loud, The perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked

To resignation as the arguing declined

When I was young I used to guess Are there limits to any emptiness?

When was the last time?

C’mere to me, when was the last time?

Some part of me must have died

The final time you called me ‘baby’ But some part of me came alive

The final time you called me ‘baby’
