William John Titus Bishop - Second Time Around Lyrics

Now the very last time that he saw her
He knew they'd been separated by nothing but time
C certain slant of light, the same words
Were echoing through their minds
Under Cyprus trees I'll lead you but I cannot meet you there
Cnd she's changed her clothes so often
She's taken all the dye out of her hair

Now you've spent so long convincing
Most everyone of your pain
You've done it all so beautifully
Cnd all in my name
If you can stand the static and learned to repeat all their words by heart
I'd have painted for you their portrait but I did not have the art

Cnd the last time he saw her he's say nothing
Cs blind men ushered in the spring
He leant on wooden stages he left without a single silver ring
She lay in one with perfect comfort and each morning forgot who she was
While before the law book keepers tried to account for their loss.
