Don't give up on me
from Everything Changes by Harvest Breed
lyrics
Now it seems they were moments of wandering
Punctuated with the purity of exaltation
Visions of you in the morning,
Drinking tea in the garden,
Feet in the cool grass
I stood and searched the leaves for an answer
We walked down to the lake, then,
Monsoon-like sheets of rain in the distance,
"Don't give up on me," you said.
I touched the hem of your dress.
"Glaciers will melt eventually."
You and I,
A mass of fading possibilities
Now these stories,
Strangers lost in distant cities
Late afternoon in the parking,
Summer heat beyond our caring,
We were like fixed in time
It could have been 1950s New York,
Though I remember you were full-color,
Or post-war Berlin,
Your hair battling the wind
Punctuated with the purity of exaltation
Visions of you in the morning,
Drinking tea in the garden,
Feet in the cool grass
I stood and searched the leaves for an answer
We walked down to the lake, then,
Monsoon-like sheets of rain in the distance,
"Don't give up on me," you said.
I touched the hem of your dress.
"Glaciers will melt eventually."
You and I,
A mass of fading possibilities
Now these stories,
Strangers lost in distant cities
Late afternoon in the parking,
Summer heat beyond our caring,
We were like fixed in time
It could have been 1950s New York,
Though I remember you were full-color,
Or post-war Berlin,
Your hair battling the wind
