Packed to the Rafters movie - Memories & Dust lyrics
rate meFirst I was a hatchling waiting for my little bones to form<br>
Next I was a fledging leaping from the nest despite the fall<br>
oh they fall, how we fall<br>
But if I speak to you of days upon the ocean<br>
I can speak to you of memories and dust<br>
There won’t be time for all of us,<br>
I know there won’t be time for all of us<br>
<br>
I landed in the garden longing for the view behind the fence<br>
Oh my god<br>
I prayed my bones weren’t brittle<br>
For the air we float on can feel dense<br>
Oh the weight of it aches<br>
But if I speak to you of days upon the ocean<br>
I can speak to you of memories and dust<br>
There won’t be time for all us,<br>
I know there won’t be time for all of us<br>
<br>
’cause I saw two fall before they were ready to<br>
and I found no sense of gain to bear the cost<br>
comfort comes to those with faith in mysterious ways<br>
But for me faith don’t make up for what we lost<br>
<br>
But if I speak to you of days upon the ocean<br>
I can speak to you of memories and dust<br>
There won’t be time for all us,<br>
I know there won’t be time for all of us<br>
<br>
But in the morning I can smell you on my pillow<br>
I need to know we won’t get wrung out in the wash<br>
I need to know there’s time for us<br>
I must believe there’s time for some of us<br>
<br>
’cause I saw two fall before they were ready to<br>
and I found no sense of gain to bear the cost<br>
comfort comes to those with faith in mysterious ways<br>
But for me faith don’t make up for what we lost<br>
<br>
