The Days of Debt

I listened to your voice
In a darkened room
I listened to your laughter
Knowin' you'd be gone so soon
So soon

I listened to your voice
Through wires I couldn't see
I listened to your laughter
Over mountain and sea
And sea

It's the days of debt
The sun'll rise
So please, darlin,
Won't you close your eyes?
I do not want you to see me
In the state I'm in
So please, remember me
As I have been

I listened to you whisper
Late at night
I listened to you crying
Your tears hid from sight
From sight

Now I listen to you whisper
With a pen you never wanted to aim
Now I listen to you crying
As you sign your name
Your name

It's the days of debt
The sun will rise
So please, darlin,
Won't you close your eyes?
I do not want you to see me
In the state I'm in
So please, remember me
As I have been
