All That I've Loved (For Barbara)

They didn't ask him to leave when the bell rung Drinking whiskey much older than I am I sat and I watched him watching his watch And he turned round and asked me the time The waitress wandered across from the kitchen She was ever so slightly singing A song he once knew, such a beautiful tune And he wished that he knew it once more He asked me "Where do you go when your mind doesn't work with your soul? I had memories made, now I can't put a face to a name." "Do you know who I am? Where did I go? And where have I been? Do you know who I am? All that I've loved and all that I've seen seems to go" There she sat with her tea in the garden Didn't remember why we were arguing The point had been lost, she forgot where it was So she told me the story again She had told me to look in the kitchen She said some of her things had gone missing They all had been stored where she kept them before It was only her mind that had changed She asked me "Where do you go when your mind doesn't work with your soul? I had memories made, now I can't put a face to a name." "Do you know who I am? Where did I go? And where have I been? Do you know who I am? All that I've loved and all that I've seen seems to go" Every breeze running through every tree And every fallen leaf, that's you my friend I know the world will change But you will know my name, when I see you again Do you know who I am? Where did I go? And where have I been? Do you know who I am? All that I've loved and all that I've seen seems to go --- All That I've Loved (For Barbara) - Lucy Spraggan
