We Once Were Here

Pound-shop batteries, we run down too soon

All used up, thrown away

Sentimental, we cling to the hope

The world might remember what we had to say

We once were here

For a moment our voices rang clear

When we’re long gone

Will an echo of us linger on?

Years from now, when our days have run down

Gone wherever they go

Foolish though, out of millions of songs

Someone might hear this, and then they will know

We once were here

For a moment our voices rang clear

Now we’re long gone

Does an echo of us linger on?
