For Celebrations Past

This is for footsteps approaching the night

They keep themselves moving and do what is right

Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand

Numbers are many who misunderstand

Drink your wine away instead

I won't remember all that's said

Say farewell and close the door

You'll find me never more

That I believe in

That I believe in

That I believe in you

Must be a crying shame

Tell you a story of that which comes last

All of the sorrow that lives in the past

Now if you're tired of all that's been told

Don't be surprised that I've grown so old

Drink your wine away instead

I won't remember all that's said

Say farewell and close the door

You'll find me never more

And I believe in

That I believe in

That I believe in you

Must be a crying shame

Breathing in shadows or dead on the vine

I'm there in the morning to take you sometimes

To watch what you gather and hold in your hand

The numbers are many who misunderstand

Drink your wine away instead

I won't remember all that's said

Say farewell and close the door

You'll find me never more

And I believe in

That I believe in

That I believe in

That I believe in

That I believe in you

Must be a crying shame
