Lyrics Rachel Taylor - The Lights Are Dimming Slowly

The bottom of a nearly empty jar
I scrape and tap to remember who you are
And the black and white soft focus memory
Of who we were and who we thought we’d be

The avalanche of years and circumstance.
The way that we’ve forgotten how to dance
Nicely framed and smiling next to me
Is breaking me down

Because you always, Because you never
That raging fire is now an ember
And the lights are dimming slowly
Will you ever see?
Because you always, Because you never
Will you ever notice me?

I knew your smile before I knew your name
I knew our love before I knew our pain
I thought we were the exception to the rule
But it’s breaking me down

Because you always, Because you never
That raging fire is now an ember
And the lights are dimming slowly
Will you ever see?
Because you always, Because you never

Because you always, Because you never
That raging fire is now an ember
And the lights are dimming slowly
