The Vanishing Mind

Calexico · Algiers [2012]

On the longest day

The vanishing mind

Knows not when the day ends

Who could care for you

Would could understand



In the room sealed shut

And you're not what you were

So much sweeter now

That there's nothing left to

Remember you



It's what brought you here

It's what keeps you here

Who could care for you

Who could understand

Know not when the day ends or begins anymore

In the hallway and waiting again



Here we are, here we sit

The light turning grey

Your smile brings me back

To the longest day

The vanishing mind
