lyrics

With the shadows on your face you looked like someone I once saw
in a dream I lost the moment before waking
You asked how far I’d had traveled to this place
I said I’d been here all along
That made you laugh
The ice had turned my drink to smoky water
The barman’s smile was running out of steam
You took my hand like it meant less than nothing
Then we stayed that way for all these years ‘till now
And I still can’t find you.

A man was playing rock and roll guitar all by himself
and no one else but you and me were listening
You told me you just moved here
but you didn’t seem to want to say from where
Just far away
The music for some reason took me back to that cafe in Rumorosa
A place we wouldn’t get to for another seven lifetimes side by side
Another thousand miles of all-night driving toward that blazing lit-up
border
And I still can’t find you.

The neon beacon flickered like a candle blowing out
in the shadows of the dusty tavern window
We danced like time had ended long ago
Our steps were out of time
There was a kiss
But now I can’t remember how it started
We paid the tab and stumbled out in laughter
To ruined streets and never-ending summer
And I thought I heard the door lock shut behind us
but it might have been my heart
And I still can’t find you
I still can’t find you
I still can’t find you.
