Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
Fantômas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Memories fade to gray
My smile, your name
Roof leaks, dim lights
Low rent, high tide

Boxsprings, spare change
Your scent, my ways
Your breath, my air
Fog lifts, I stare

You're gone but I'm there
I'm gone but you're there




You're gone but I'm there
I'm gone but you're there
