Wooly Mammoth’s Mighty Absence [2005]

[Verse 1]
Quickly forgetting was the way I used to live my life
If you would try telling me your name, I would forget
If you would or try telling me "don't worry", I would forget
Because everything I knew would quickly wither and be replaced
And all echoes would be buried in the sound
The sound of living, the sound of my feet on the sidewalk
Treasure hunting, I would bury what I found
I was a gold digger underground

[Verse 2]
But quickly forgotten was this forgetful way of life
Once I left home, and once I lived as if I had died
Sitting on a rock and doing nothing
Alone for so long, in the dark I found my sight
And there your name was written large in letters bright!
There my faith was! "Worry not!" declared the night
In the great void, I could feel my shape of what was missing
Like the way the Woolly Mammoth stands so tall and bold in our minds
I was shaken at the size of my cry
And the true love it described

[Verse 3]
So I know day is dawning, so ends my holy night
It's back to the world I go, back to the girls and shows
And will I carry myself slowly enough through the worldly woes
Through unfurling flows to remember
I sit on a dark rock doing nothing still, just crowded in
And there's the love in flesh and bone
