mia doi todd - amnesia lyrics

we drove out to the long island shore
with bobo’s body on the backseat floor
parked the car and hauled her out
to the waves to say our goodbyes
seven, eight times, she came rolling back
our shirtsleeves waterlogged, her fur just damp
we took her in our arms and with all our might
flung her into the recessing tide
and prayed ninth time’s the charm
just then the sunset exploded
from o’er the dunes where we stood frozen
and from the brilliant shades of purple pink and orange
we knew she would not return as a dog

our puppies go blind, deaf, and senile, then die in our arms
seven, eight waves of denial, then ninth tide’s the charm

three white pages all covered with braille
the hand+woven lacework of a young bride’s veil
lean up against this shooting gallery wall
an anonymous letter for an autonomous fall
i love you, i miss you, i need you
i love you, i miss you, i need you
i love you, i miss you, i need you

i walk out aimlessly through leaf+strewn streets
wonder why the elms have gone extinct
pass factory buildings all brick and brawn
ghosts of a revolution come and gone
and i stop at the bridge built between us
i stop at the bridge built between us
our lovers go blind, deaf and senile, then die in our arms
seven, eight waves of denial, then ninth tide’s the charm

amnesia, we’ve fallen and gotten up
to feel the freedom of an empty cup
amnesia, we’ve fallen and gotten up
to feel the home where there once was love

our puppy loves go blind, deaf, and senile, then die in our arms
seven, eight waves of denial, then ninth tide’s the charm

amnesia, we’ve fallen and gotten up
to feel the freedom of an empty cup
amnesia, we’ve fallen and gotten up
to see the beauty of a setting sun
