Charity Shop Window
Echoes of Lost Love: Resonance in a Charity Shop Window
Lyrics
""She saw his coat in the charity shop window
She noticed his coat displayed in a charity shop's window
Where the past lives on at a bargain price
The past is preserved and available for purchase at a low cost
Long ago dreams find another chance to live again
Old dreams get a second chance at existence
Memories are cheap in the charity shop window
Memories are easily accessible and affordable in the charity shop window
She can almost hear if she really tries
She can almost recall those memories if she tries
The sound of his voice
The echo of his voice
and their first hello
Recalling the first encounter and greeting
Their last goodbye
Remembering the final farewell
Typewriters, guitars
Listing typewriters and guitars
Autographs of the stars
Mentioning autographs from celebrities
Her hearts' like some forgotten souvenir
Her heart is like a forgotten keepsake
Broken 45's
Referring to broken 45 RPM records
Other people lives
Observing fragments of other people's lives
Books half read, love gone dead
Books left unread, and love that has faded away
A wedding dress promise yellowed with age
Describing a wedding dress, a promise now aged and yellowed
She just can't turn the page
Unable to move on from the past
She saw his coat in the charity shop window
Reiterating the sight of his coat in the charity shop window
As the rain and the wind blows
Amidst the rain and wind
She can almost hear if she really tries
Hearing, in her mind, their initial meeting and final farewell
Their first hello their last goodbye
Recalling the first hello and the last goodbye
She just can't turn the page""
Struggling to move forward, to turn the page on the past
