you'll forget me when I go (ozymandias)
I met a traveller from from a land
So much older than this sand
Who saw a statue of a man
Everybody used to know
Now it's cracked and broken down
On the outskirts of my town
Time is the only show
You'll forget me when I go
You don't tell the wind to blow
You'll forget me when I go
Won't happen fast won't happen slow
You'll forget me when I go
Order one more from the bar
And don't let it break your heart
We're all a speck between the stars
In a dark unknown
But I'll keep on keeping on
With my lover and my song
We'll get high, we'll get low
You'll forget me when I go
You don't tell the sun to glow
You'll forget me when I go
Won't happen fast, won't happen slow
You'll forget me when I go
Just to make it clear
I loved you now, I loved you here
And so when we should disappear
It doesn't mean we never glowed
Time is a loyal friend
And she'll be there 'till the end
Wherever our river bends
Her water still will flow
Oh how I love you so
You'll forget me when I go
Won't happen fast, won't happen slow
You'll forget me when I go
So much older than this sand
Who saw a statue of a man
Everybody used to know
Now it's cracked and broken down
On the outskirts of my town
Time is the only show
You'll forget me when I go
You don't tell the wind to blow
You'll forget me when I go
Won't happen fast won't happen slow
You'll forget me when I go
Order one more from the bar
And don't let it break your heart
We're all a speck between the stars
In a dark unknown
But I'll keep on keeping on
With my lover and my song
We'll get high, we'll get low
You'll forget me when I go
You don't tell the sun to glow
You'll forget me when I go
Won't happen fast, won't happen slow
You'll forget me when I go
Just to make it clear
I loved you now, I loved you here
And so when we should disappear
It doesn't mean we never glowed
Time is a loyal friend
And she'll be there 'till the end
Wherever our river bends
Her water still will flow
Oh how I love you so
You'll forget me when I go
Won't happen fast, won't happen slow
You'll forget me when I go
