[00:21.57]All the sickness and the forge
[00:24.42]And all that's come unwound
[00:31.14]Under the clock by the casino
[00:34.92]Outside the lost and found
[00:42.51]Where you spoke in some strange accent
[00:56.64]While I just zipped my coat
[01:02.25]For a walk down through the graveyard
[01:06.12]Of all I wish I didn't know
[01:12.75]I wish I'd never known
[01:16.44]There's no telephone ringing
[01:19.80]There's no postcards to send
[01:23.67]And it's not like before
[01:31.20]When I torched the flag of contempt
[01:34.89]Still you remind me of a girl
[01:36.06]That always felt too deep
[01:41.16]In the stagger and the flail
[01:47.70]Of blurred vision and memory
[01:56.31]Well, a promise that is wounded
[02:08.34]Is a promise nonetheless
[02:16.98]I only wanted you forever
[02:20.16]In that august summer dress
[02:27.63]All the courage and the fear
[02:30.63]Lord, they're so entwined
[03:02.79]Like the polished steel of coffins
[03:04.53]And the swollen breast of time
[03:13.20]All I'm offering is a gold band
[03:17.49]But it means so much more
[03:28.02]Like a heart to religion
[03:31.26]Or stilts to the floor
[03:43.89]It means so much more
[03:52.56]Well, a promise that is wounded
[03:56.49]Is a promise nonetheless
[04:00.57]I only wanted you forever
[04:03.78]In that august summer dress
