Mason Jennings - Machines lyrics

Will you remember me
The way I was, when I was free
An open book that we could read together

Will I haunt your dreams
A mocking bird with broken wings
A burned out barn, an empty swing forever

Time turns and then it flies
A waterfall of lullabies
A smiling girl with crying eyes forget her

Moonlight upon her face
A story book of empty space
Where you and I feel out of place together

Will we remember this
The way it was or how it is
What we love or what we miss forever

Will we turn loose at last
The schools of thought from whence we've cast
And let our boats go sailing past untethered

One fine morning one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down
One fine morning one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down
