Memories & Dust Lyrics - Josh Pyke

First I was a hatchling waiting for my little bones to form 

Next I was a fledging leaping from the nest despite the fall 

Oh they fall, how we fall 

But if I speak to you of days upon the ocean 

I can speak to you of memories and dust 

There won't be time for all of us, 

I know there won't be time for all of us 

I landed in the garden longing for the view behind the fence 

Oh my god 

I prayed my bones weren't brittle 

For the air we float on can feel dense 

Oh the weight of it aches 

But if I speak to you of days upon the ocean 

I can speak to you of memories and dust 

There won't be time for all us, 

I know there won't be time for all of us 

'Cause I saw two fall before they were ready to 

And I found no sense or gain to bear the cost 

Comfort comes to those with faith in mysterious ways 

But for me faith don't make up for what we lost 

But if I speak to you of days upon the ocean 

I can speak to you of memories and dust 

There won't be time for all us, 

I know there won't be time for all of us 

But in the morning I can smell you on my pillow 

I need to know we won't get wrung out in the wash 

I need to know there's time for us 

I must believe there's time for some of us 

'Cause I saw two fall before they were ready to 

And I found no sense or gain to bear the cost 

Comfort comes to those with faith in mysterious ways 

But for me faith don't make up for what we lost
