about

A song about how our past experiences dictate how many of us think and feel in the present.

lyrics

I sent an invitation
But it landed on the grass
So with no infatuation
I put it in the past

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

And it won't be in the sentiment
Cause that would never last
It's gotta be a memory
To permeate the past

I'll never be with you again
Behind closed doors
Oh this and that can't do again
I'm manning out the cause

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

I swore along that river bed
Hiding from the sun
Imagination never said
What started is undone

Cromarty I might never see
The likes of us no more
But I'll recall forever days
Huddled on that shore

I'll never be with you again
To take walks along the loch
Oh this and that won't do again
At Ullapool's small dock

I'll never be with you again
To fall in and out of love
You and I won't speak again
The future in thereof

In the presence of the past
In the presence of the past
In the presence of the past
In the presence of the past
