(Performed by Julie Atherton)
A sound like rushing stopped my dreaming and I began to slow right down
Thinking of everything you said and how I left but could not move
Then everything you'd ever done began to climb inside my thoughts
The birthday card, the photograph, the cancelled trip, the souvenir
Your eyes are clear
Your smile so weak
I understood, but it was hard, I said goodbye and breathed you in
It's been a year, this will take time
And soon my senses will shut down and I'll feel tired and want to sleep
And weak and everywhere I turn, my eyes will show me all the things you've touched
The dress I wore the night we danced, the chair, the corner shop... My bed.
And slowly one by one, I'll have to change the memories they hold
It's not their fault
They weren't to know
But I could leave this house right now and all I own
It's been a year, this will take time
So please forgive me if I cry and cannot handle this
it's just that I began to believe
And please forgive the way I act in front of friends of ours
you carry on and have a good time
And if I say some stupid things, or drink too much ignore me
it's better that way
It's not your fault
You weren't to know
But I could leave this house right now and all I own
It's been a year, this will take time
