Cooling of the Embers

Cooling of the Embers - Missy Higgins (蜜西·希金斯)

You put your hand on top of mine

You're talking fast but talking blind

And I can't bring myself to meet your eyes

'Cause death is slowly covering you

In galaxies of black and blue

And under your skin all his colours bloom

And you're only half here

Like someone left a frail body and took the rest

But I remember when you were strong

And never wanted help from no one

What you've become is not who I remember

Is this the cooling of the embers

She's back again through summer's past

The smell of rain and freshly cut grass

Seems those ordinary days are the ones that last

Oh cause he was there the one you loved

The one you never could let go of

And there's something you know as you're looking up

But you're only half here

Like someone left a frail body

And stole the rest

But I remember when you were strong

Never wanted help from no one

What you've become is not who I remember

Is this the cooling of the embers

Is this the cooling of the embers

Cause you are not who I remember

It's like you are a child you are a child

You are a child once more

And all of our yesterdays have gone

You put your hand on top of mine

You're talking fast but talking blind

And I can't bring myself to meet your eyes
