Gabriel Lyrics

Gabriel this is the last
chapter of our correspondence
i hope that after time goes past
you can remember me with fondness

and think as i am thinking now
of all the pages that have seen us
laid out an ending in between us
and we can walk them like the ground

i know my fate i do not mean to fight
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
tread softly on the words you used to write

oh Gabriel i see you there
that day i met you in the orchard
and i was younger then i wore my hair
in bows across my forehead

soon they will twist it at the shoulder
and fix the clasp against my neck
and i do not think you would know her
if you could see what they reflect

I've seen my future in an evening dress
all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess
remember me the way you knew me best

oh Gabriel i have kept Emmy the Great - Gabriel - http://motolyrics.com/emmy-the-great/gabriel-lyrics.html
everything you sent me

everything you put to paper but
it's better to forget
than fill your head with memories
think that you will thank me later

oh Gabriel i wish that i
could pick you up and fold you like a ribbon
I'd keep you always and in secret
in the pockets of my clothes

but this is how i live my life
with all the parts that i was given
this is the heart that i was given
and what you're given can be sold

i see my future in an evening dress
and i've been walking to her step to step
remember the way you knew me best

i know my fate i do not mean to fight
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
tread softly on the words you used to write

i know my fate i do not mean to fight
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
tread softly on the words you used to write
