Lyrics for Absinthe

My love's a star you only saw the traces of What went before is not no more, it's the embers of People always catching names too late And we're all sorry there's no time to make the change I could hear rebellion rising I could feel the stars aligning I could see the wave rising But I never did seem to find my way back home My love's a ball I threw to you Once I was gone, you caught it too Love ignored erodes in time, changes shape, went and changed your mind All I really needed was someone to take me home Enough absinthe can crush your spirit to the bone I could feel rebellion rising I could hear the stars aligning I could see the wave rising But I never did seem to find my way back home No, I never did wanna find my way back home
