Lyrics
The Forgetting
It comes in double time
And then you miss a beat
You try to fake the time
But you can’t find your feet
This is the welcome
To the forgetting
This is what you’ve got
After the betting
Comes the forgetting
There was a time you knew
You could still see her face
But now the curtain falls
She’s gone without a trace
This is the welcome
To the forgetting
This is what you’ve got
After the betting
Comes the forgetting
It took a long long time
To turn your heart to stone
But now you’re high and dry
And now you’re all alone
This is the welcome
To the forgetting
This is what you’ve got
After the betting
Comes the forgetting
