Lynn Jackson - The Sound of Everything (For Leonard Cohen) Lyrics

Yesterday is not today, yesterday was worse i will use yesterday, and put it in verse
I will use today to put away yesterday's curse i will use today to put yesterday in its place

When you died there was a great shift in time that's the way it goes, we lose and we find
I have sought and i have been told
There are no secrets you don't already know

You are the student and the teacher too
The beggar and the master of what unknown means to you

I know we fall and i know we try
I love it anyway because i've never minded
I know it's crazy but in this place we can fly
I know we believed in spite of

I hear the echo of your pages and your words like sonic flowers i collect in my brain
Put them in a vase on the table so i can hear you again and again

The sounds of something the sounds of nothing
Words that comfort, words so desolate
I picked the bouquet and i took them away one day to selfishly own and look at time and again

And now i wait for a flash of illumination
Well maybe not, but in my mind i keep trying

The loss is great the memory strong
You were wrapped in dark and light and presented it in song
There is no right, there is no wrong
There is only me and you and everyone's everyone

I can't explain it, the feeling comes and goes
I'm on top of it, sometimes below
Sometimes it's inside of me, but still too far to go
I'm not on top of it, still too far below

You can travel the world, you can travel under your own roof
You can change the geography
But you can't change your mind or the moon

I look for signs, i look to know
The farther i come, the farther i find i must go
I keep on walking that's all i know
I keep on walking that's all i know
