your name - brian gray lyrics

Loading...

[instrumental intro]

you didn’t have time to think or time to fear
i hadn’t the guts to disagree
and now you’re like all dissolved and i’m still here
and i can’t stop being glad that it was you instead of me

so i keep thinking how there won’t be trumpets
blaring majesty to drown my shame
and no statue with a plaque atop the ash of an attack
on this world that doesn’t know your name
what was your name?
what was your name?

already that briefest glimpse is fading now
tomorrow you never will have been
and i will go underground, and on somehow
taking solace that mine isn’t so original a sin

so i guess there never will be trumpets
and you only have yourself to blame
if you thought there’s any use in trading down for this excuse
of a man who never knew your name

and so what if there are no more trumpets
in their cynical and brash acclaim?
played by men who aren’t me in overblown hypocrisy…

and so this hypocrite will now say, “thank you”
knowing i would not have done the same
but whatever i’m about, from the here to here on out
what i do, i do it in your name!
