Let Him Lie

I put your record on.
I sing the song you wrote.
And you're a world away but I feel closer to home.
I know I left behind things I've loved before but I give you my heart dearest Eleanor.
Eleanor, remember when you used to drive me home?
After I played you the first song I wrote, you said you thought it had potential.
Eleanor, remember when we used to sit alone?
We wouldn't speak over the stereo because we knew we didn't have to.
Eleanor I know it's been a long time since we were young and full of longing, but I never let you go.
Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids who didn't understand our politics?
We didn't care we were self-righteous.
Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering.
We had a catalog of songs to sing that would help us to forget.
