oysterband - palace of memory lyrics
[verse 1]
old lovers walk through walls
so soft their footfalls
in the hours after midnight they call on me
[verse 2]
“is this regret?” they say
this lonely shadow+puppet play
you’re lost in a maze and you can’t get free
[pre+chorus]
echoes in empty halls
all round my bed
the moon shines and the night bird calls
listen
[chorus]
beneath the green grass the stone
beneath the pretty flesh the bone
in the palace of memory
beneath the green grass the stone
beneath the pretty flesh the bone
in the palace of memory
you lie, you lie alone
[verse 3]
old lovers fade away
into the break of day
they melt in the light at my window sill
[verse 4]
a waking world outside
i throw the window open wide
in the roar of the traffic i hear them still
[pre+chorus]
wake up, i try and try
my ghosts never say goodbye
listen
[chorus]
beneath the green grass the stone
beneath the pretty flesh the bone
in the palace of memory
beneath the green grass the stone
beneath the pretty flesh the bone
in the palace of memory
you lie, you lie alone
[bridge]
get up, get up
don’t let ’em see you cry
get up, get up
don’t let ’em wonder why
get up, get up
don’t let ’em see you cry
get up, get up
[pre+chorus]
wake up, i try and try
my ghosts never say goodbye
listen
[chorus]
beneath the green grass the stone
beneath the pretty flesh the bone
in the palace of memory
beneath the green grass the stone
beneath the pretty flesh the bone
in the palace of memory
you lie, you lie alone
your life’s a candle burning down
take off that solitary crown
in the palace of memory
beneath the green grass the stone
beneath the pretty flesh the bone
in the palace of memory
you lie, you lie alone
