Patti and Robert

Patti wasn't noticin', she noticed and she fell, she
Watched mountains rise from poetry, she did not climb Chanelle
Knelt down when she recognized her kiss could not be earned
And that knowledge brought her kindness and humility to learn

I feel the beauty that you bring and it
It stirs my heart, it makes me sing
I sing a song that's always been

Always been, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Always been, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na

Robert was a universe, complete and incomplete
He wore Saturn's rings and cosmic things, vibrant as the stream
Photographs formed in his mind before the camera clicked
He gave life to those around him, even though he got so sick

I hear the story that you tell and it
It gives me strength, it makes me well
It lets me know we've always been

Always been, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Always been, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Always been (na-na-na, na-na)
Been (na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
Been (na-na-na, na-na)
Been (na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
Been

Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me

Leaning off the window ledge she sways and shuts her eyes
Dreaming of the last words Robert said before he died
Tell our story Patti, you're the only one who can
She steps out into his emptiness by pickin' up the pen

Ours is a love that will not break
It just goes out like ripples on a lake
What's set in motion has no end
What has no end has always been

Always been (na-na-na, na-na)
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Always been (na-na-na)
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Always been (na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
Always been (na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)

Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me

Come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
Come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
Come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
Come on, give it all to me
Oh, baby, let go of your pain, come on, give it all to me
