Packed to the Rafters movie - Memories & Dust lyrics

rate me

First 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>
