Lyrics
The Axe Forgets
Words & Music by Marc Hockley
One day you won’t remember
Never think of me at all
No more a glowing ember
Sure as winter follows fall
Maybe I’m mistaken
Maybe it was just a dream
I guess the axe forgets
It’s not so easy for the tree
Some call you a pretender
Some never call at all
Since you left here in November
I guess a fool is still a fool
Though the words I speak are tender
Inside my hearts a sea
Fighting now just to surrender
What will be will have to be
One day I won’t remember
It’s not so easy
Never think of you at all
No no it’s not so easy
No more a glowing ember
It’s not so easy
Sure as winter follows fall
No, no it’s not so easy
