I heard the notes all fade away 
Leaving memorial stones 
Yesterday's thoughts have come to stay 
Until they decompose 
A picture paints a thousand words 
With nothing much to say 
What last night seemed had to be heard 
Is left unsaid today 
So when you said you understood 
I couldn't understand 
I was looking at an empty beach 
As you saw all the grains of sand 
I was counting views from windows 
When you looked in from outside 
The light was blurred and distant 
And several cities wide 
So I turn up the volume 
To hear the notes so dim 
You said you couldn't hear it 
So I asked you to come in 
Then you held up a mirror 
And I saw my face congeal 
I was thin and getting thinner 
And I dreamt for real
