Wooly Mammoth's Mighty Absence-Mount Eerie

Wooly Mammoth's Mighty Absence - Mount Eerie Quickly forgetting was the way I lived my life Try telling me your name or try telling me "don't worry." Everything I knew would quickly wither and die And all echoes would be buried in the sound of living, The sound of my feet on the sidewalk That was me - treasure hunting, I would bury what I found That was me - the gold digger, underground Quickly forgotten was that forgetful way of life When I left home, when I lived as if I'd died Sitting on a rock and doing nothing, alone for so long In the dark I found my sight There you name was, written large in letters bright! And there my faith was! "Worry not" declared the night In the great void of my life, I could feel the shape of what was missing Like the way the Woolly Mammoth stands so tall and bold in our minds I was shaken at the size of my cry And the true love it described A new day is dawning now and so ends my holy night It's back to the world I go, back to the girls and shows, And other worldly woes, and their unfurling flows Will I carry myself slowly enough to remember? I sit on a dark rock doing nothing, still just crowded in There's the love in flesh and bones.
