lyrics

Dear little girl
With your little hands you colored such straight lines
Attempts to hem the tangled chaos of the time we survived
Little girl
With your little voice you spoke from memory
The stories you were told to help us sleep
In a make-believe peace

There’s a picture of you
In the locket round my neck
I’m moving on
But I promise not to forget
That you were there for me
When I needed some certainty
And you believed it, oh you believed it
There’s this mystery, listen, it beckons me
I’m moving on
And I won’t forget
I’ll wear you round my neck

Dear little girl
In your little fists you clutched the fading flowers
Like our life depended on the faith they’d never go brown

There’s a picture of you
In the locket round my neck
I’m moving on
But I promise not to forget
That you were there for me
When I needed some certainty
And you believed it, oh you believed it
There’s this mystery, listen, it beckons me
I’m moving on
And I won’t forget

You brought me this far
And it’s no small miracle
But for the next mile
I need some new tools
You got me this far
And for that, I thank you
Thank you

There’s a picture of you
In the locket round my neck
I’m moving on
(There's a picture of you)
I’m moving on
(There's a picture of you)
And I won’t forget
(I'm moving on)
I’ll wear you round my neck
(I'm moving on)
I’ll wear you round my neck
(I'm moving on)
There's a picture of you
