Morrissey The Never Played Symphonies Lyrics

The Never Played Symphonies Lyrics



Reflecting from my death bed

I’m balancing lifes riches

Against the ditches

And the flat greys in between

All I can see are the never laid

That’s the never played symphonies



I can’t see those who tried to love me 

Or those who felt they understood me

And I can’t see those who 

very patiently put up with me

All I can see are the never laid

Of the never played symphonies 

 

You were one

You meant to be one

And you jumped into my face

And laughed

And kissed me on the cheek

And then were gone

Forever

Not quite



Black sky in the daytime

And I don’t much mind dying

When there is nothing left

To care for anymore

Just the never laid

The never played symphonies 

 

You were one

You knew you were one

And you slid

Right through my fingers 

No, not literally

But metaphorically

And, now you’re all I see

As the light fades
