lyrics

A matchbox
Full of needles
For a gramophone player,
Is sitting right here - on my bedside table.
Some are rusted, some gleam,
In memory of your music machine,
In memory of the dancing halls
In memory of the handsome boys.

Oh where could that player be?
You'll find the needles here with me.

A shoebox
Full of letters
Is in my dresser drawer,
Sometimes I spread them all out onto the floor.
And then I fall into stillness and furrow my brow,
In memory of a drive out of town,
In memory of a road that lead south,
In memory of the voice
I don't have now.
