about

"Don't forget, don't forget! The heart, the heart. Ticking clicking whirring. Oh poor me, have to see. See this. Don't forget, don't forget."

lyrics

Still her heart.

Goodbye Mother, you taught him everything he needs to know and he's hiding his fears.
It's a lonely road but there won't be salt from tears.

Gabriel, don't forget, don't look back
Gabriel, step by step, step by step.
Gabriel, don't hold on, she is far away.
Let her have her dream, let her sleep.

(Still her heart)

Goodbye Mother, you taught him everything he needs to know about being alone.
He'll walk a lonely road but there won't be salt from tears.

Close your eyes, there's nothing left here for you.
Oh Gabriel Go, turn away, let her stay.
(Turn away).

Close your eyes but open wide.
Are you watching the sky, it's gonna fall, it's gonna cry.
It's coming your way, letting you stray no more.

(Still your heart)

Goodbye mother, you taught him everything he needs to know about being alone.
It's a lonely road but it won't be salt from tears.
Goodbye Mother, you taught him everything he knows from pain to fear.
It's a lonely road but it won't be salt from tears.

Goodbye Mother, He'll get right up when he falls.
Goodbye Mother, he won't cry for you anymore.
Goodbye Mother, He'll move on if he has to crawl.
Goodbye Mother, he won't ever cry for you.

(Still your heart)

Goodbye Mother, you taught him everything he needs to know and from here.
It's a lonely road but there won't be salt from tears.

Come on bird, let's follow the road to see where it goes.
(There won't be salt from tears.)
Come on bird, let's tell each other stories and I'll feed you corn.
(There won't be salt from tears.)
Come on bird, Let's follow the road to see where it goes.
(There won't be salt from tears.)
Come on bird, let's follow the road to see where it goes.

Goodbye Mother, you taught him all he needs to know and from here.
(Still your heart)
Goodbye Mother, you taught him all he knows from pain to fear.
It's a broken road but there won't be salt from tears.

Come on Bird, let's follow the road where it goes.
Come on Bird, to the end of the world.
Come on Bird, let's follow the road where it goes.
Come on Bird, to the end of the world.
