All That I've Loved (For Barbara)

All That I've Loved (For Barbara)

(album: I Hope You Don't Mind Me Writing - 2017)

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
