Forgetfulness - Steve Kilbey

Paper flowers tacked to the walls

And cotton sheets back two by two

Softness where the dreamer storms

Leaves are crushing up on you

Different hearts play on these strings

Strangers waking, talking strange

Bad nights on the pillow again

Among the pretty flowers change

I take forgetfullness

I’ll share some out

Trust these cards and watch me talk

A million people call out in gold

Success and failure feed my heart

And everything is fine between

Sundail marks the island time

And all the dust it makes you swoon

Come to as you find your mind

Your memories, details, (you learn these details ?) much too soon
