Is
Currents Lyrics

When you told me
You confided in me

You heard the winds cry
You sensed the impending doom

And then you told me
And then you revealed

You felt the seas die
You felt that the world was ending

And then you showed me
And then you demonstrated

The flight of seagulls
The last hurrah of beauty

And whispered gently
And spoke softly

The party is over
That it was time for everything to end

Then Then I knew it was time
This realization made me understand that it was time to say goodbye

You looked so tired then
You looked so worn out at that time

Bereft of beauty
Devoid of any aesthetic appeal

I knew that long ago
I knew all along

Your heart had stopped
Your spirit had already died

But all this beauty
Despite all the beauty

But all these shadows
Despite all the shadows

As if to say yes
As if signifying affirmation

To life was pointless
Life had become meaningless

And then Then I knew it was time
This made me realize it was time to let go

In a small park
In a tiny garden

Just down from Soho
Located very near to Soho

You gestured wildly
You gestured in an animated manner

But meaning nothing
But without any significance

And all the fountains
And all the water fountains

Shouted surrender
Conceded defeat

And all the trees bowed
And all the trees bent over

At my betrayal
As a result of my betrayal

And then
And at that instance

Then I knew it was time
I understood that it was time to move on

No words have substance
There are no words that can do justice

No words are better
No description could be better

Than when I held you
When I held you tightly

Rag doll defeated
A defeated rag doll

So drained of bright light
Devoid of any radiance

So full of hatred
Full of unrequited anger

With your soul crumbling
Your spirit was breaking apart

Parted for flowers
Separated and forever gone

I should
I wish I had

Have you told
Told you

It's just time
It's only time that separates us now

And then we looked up
And then we gazed upwards

Urbi et orbi
Over the city and the world

I saw the stars merge
I saw the stars combine

Over St. Patrick's
Above St. Patrick's cathedral

You said I am finished
You told me that you were done

I am mist and fog light
You felt like a ghostly apparition

And slipped so sweetly
And passed away so peacefully

Into your grace
Into eternal rest

If only
It's just that if

If only it was only time
If only time was the only factor to blame

And now it's eight years
Now, it's been almost eight years

Since I last saw you
Since the last time I saw you

And all the starlight
All the stars in the sky

Is now as nothing
Meaningless now

The letters all burned
All the letters have been destroyed

The kisses complete
The kisses have been given and received

And all the coupling
All the relations

Long forgotten
Long since forgotten

And you long dead
And you, who have been gone so long

Damned or forgiven
It's unclear if you will ever be forgiven or damned for your deeds

It was no dream
It really happened
