Past Future Perfect Lyrics

Ocean Blue Past Future Perfect

In the corner stands a strawman
 with a cocktail
 in his right hand
 firm handshakes
 all around
 as he slowly sips away
 In the twilight
 sits a reader
 and the words they
 grab ane lead her
 to another
 world apart
 as she slowly
 slips away
 You can drown me
 in my sorrows
 that can leave me
 on the morrow
 but the best part
 is the last
 let it slowly
 fade away
 Does it strike you
 as an odd thing
 how a man keeps remembering
 where the future
 meets the past
 and then slowly
 fades
 slowly fades
 slowly fades
 away
