[chorus:]
Scars get weather-beaten and the words get washed away
The memories fade until there's nothing left to say
(Pink Woz 'Ere)
Obscurity is imminent, the fate we must embrace
Empty anonymity is all that marks the place where
Pink Woz 'Ere

I sit and watch the world pass by
To my surprise, before my eyes
A thing I thought immutable was changed
It was erased
An idle flick and it crumbled and scattered
An indifferent air like it didn't even matter
But it did
I think it did

[chorus:]

In small obscure ways the past maintains
An echoed phrase, haunted remains
Here and there you still find secret signs
Another time in my mind's eye
A relic left over from a world long-gone
A resonant reminder that the world moves on
And no-one cares
Why should they?

[chorus:]

If I don't remember then what does it matter
If everything fades and is forgotten hereafter?
Pink Woz 'Ere
But now he's not

Pink Woz 'Ere
But now he's gone
Pink Woz 'Ere
But now he's gone
