Remains of the Day

SARA GrOVES SONG LYRICS

All this time you were a statue of gold
We gathered round to behold you center of gravity
All this time you held the honey in your hand
The only keys to understanding
Holy charisma

All this time you were reflected in the faces of the people I love
All the faces of the people that I love
All my life you had that chair up on the stage
That crazy chair that you had made
Holy charisma

Could I be noble
Could I still be brave
With the weeds and the wheat
The roosting birds of prey
What do I do with these
Remains of the day these remains of the day

All this time what was I defending
The velvet box or the actual ring
What is the real thing
All this time I gave the measure I could give
I gave a full measure
Where did it all go

Could I be noble
Could I still be brave
With the weeds and the wheat
The roosting birds of prey
What do I do with these
Remains of the day these remains of the day
