Recalling The Truth Lyrics - The Man Upstairs - Robyn Hitchcock

Recalling the truth 

The way that it seems 

The way it falls 

Between you and your dreams 

The way you said yes 

As you followed me in 

You've been gone so long 

Recalling the truth 

Now what could that mean? 

The truth can just change 

Like the tide on the sea 

When the river runs out 

And the mountain grows still 

You've been gone so long 

A kiss on the stair 

A heartbeat embrace 

A kiss in the morning 

On the side of your face 

Recalling the truth 

The window of bliss 

The opens just once 

For the price of a kiss 

If the price is too high 

Then to pay is a sin 

You've been gone so long 

You hide from yourself 

But it's tracking you down 

It was me that was lost 

And it's you that I found 

Recalling the truth 

Whatever that was 

It doesn't last long 

Whatever does? 

The men always end 

Where the women begin 

You've been gone so long 

You've been gone so long 

You've been gone
