First Six Months of Love - Michelle Gurevich

Sew this up with threads of reason and regret So I will not forget, I will not forget How this felt one year six months ago I know I cannot forget, I cannot forget I'm falling into Memories of you And things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that I can share with you I can tell that you don't know me anymore It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget And being on this road is anything but sure Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget I'm falling into Memories of you And things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that I can share with you So many nights Legs tangled tight Wrap me up in a dream with you Close up these eyes Try not to cry All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you Memories of you Memories of you Memories of you I'm falling into Memories of you And things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that we can share Falling into Memories of you And things we used to do

Your favorite band is back on the road And this fall they're playing the Hollywood Bowl I've already purchased two seats for their show I guess I'm an optimist 2011, you stole my heart here And I couldn't listen to that band for years 'Til that night last summer when you reappeared Forgot how bad I wanted this If I could see the future I never would believe her Fallin' in and out of love and fallin' in again We were never any good at being friends When Harry met Sally, and you fell asleep I closed your computer and stole the top sheet I was strung out in Austin for nearly a week Anxiety like we were kids I've been thinkin' too much and it's ruined my nights But it's hard when it isn't, to let yourself slide And my heart doesn't slow down when you kill the lights I never learned to call it quits If I could see the future I never would believe her Fallin' in and out of love and fallin' in again We were never any good at being friends I'll go hungry and crazy and honest for you I don't always get angry but I'm promisin' to If it's all that you want then it's all that I can do Desire I never made any sense I'll wait for years, but I won't wait alone And then someday you'll wait for my face on your phone And I'll call and I'll say, "I think you should come home" 'Cause I'm tired of being your ex Can I take you out to a concert six months from now?

It is written in the colors Of a thousand autumn twilights Painted in the eyes of a child Spoken as forgiveness By an honest open hand It's the friend Who will walk the extra mile It's the giving Where there is not enough There is everywhere The evidence of love Open your eyes And look upon the handiwork of God Open your soul And feel the breath of glory all around For everywhere there's evidence of love It's living in the rich earth Waving in the wind It's music that moves us to believe And dying in a small town Knowing where true life begins It's hope beyond what we can see It's the mercy When tears are not enough There is everywhere The evidence of love Repeat Chorus A simple crucifix hanging on the wall Everywhere There's evidence of love Repeat Chorus

It takes ten years just to get Your stinking leg up Then five more to make it Not look like shit Soviet children form a crowd Sized and tested — who will be a star Hero of passion of whom they'll say She took her final breath in grand plié Oh, my mother russian ballerina!

I don't see her at the theatre or the parties That's right, because she's carving bamboo Far from the artistic millieu Never thought she'd live without Allegiance to a life of art Oh, my mother russian ballerina!
