Lyrics
You were dressed in black Burning like a solar flare
We took a polaroid picture with a camera that your brother had
Ripped jeans, high tops, butterscotch lip gloss
Hair tied back drinking cider from an old cup
We found our love in a common pain Innocence lost in a summer rain
And I still hear you calling I still hear you calling
Calling down the years and times And tears between us
Just an echo in the silence Her memory slowly fading
Like a polaroid exposing in reverse
I still remember when They came to say you’d gone away
Just like a hurricane across my heart A restless storm, torn apart
It was a black night, overcast, summer rain, driving fast
Hair tied back drinking cider from an old cup
Some mistakes we pay in time some mistakes we pay with life
And I still hear you calling I still hear you calling
Calling down the years and times And tears between us
Just an echo in the silence Her memory slowly fading
Like a polaroid exposing in reverse
Such a fragile thing oh How we take it all for granted
The only thing that’s really certain Is that nothing’s guaranteed
And so, we gathered in a church yard On a Sunday afternoon
There were roses on the pine When we said goodbye to you
Can you still hear me calling Cos I can’t hear you calling
Through this summer rain The tears and times and pain between us
These echoes in the silence Her memory slowly fading
Like this polaroid’s exposing in reverse
So tonight, I’ll drink some wine I’ll think about the roses on the pine
I’ll think about the star that didn’t shine I’ll think about the time when you were mine
Some piece of me Has gone with you,
Some piece of you Still lives in me
