Dr. Dog - The Sound lyrics

The embers of memories
Of the flame that is past
The way that the drapes cling to the clasps
Of the essence of all that rises
And falls is the sound

Melody still lingers long after the song
The way that the ground takes claim above
Of the essence of all above and
Below ground is the sound

Well, I used to think that
Life was just an accident
Happened once and then broke, never
Ever to happen again
Like a dream or a trance
Until I heard the sound
Until I heard the sound

The embers of memories
Of the flame that is past
The way that the drink clings to the cask
Oh the essence of all that collapses
Or crawls is the sound

I used to think that life
Was just an accident
Happened once and then broke, never
Ever to happen again
Like a dream or a trance
Until I heard the sound
Well, I used to think that
Life was just an accident
Happened once and then broke, never
Ever to happen again
Like a dream or a trance
Until I heard the sound
Until I heard the sound
