Only In the Living
(Anderson)

I distill the sunset
In a song that cuts like love remembered
Watch the shadows swallowing the trees
Like a thirsty boy to water
I seek out remembered faces
Just a taste of youth to salvage these days here

And now Sara, share your smile
Sara, shine your smile around you
It's only in the living that we're true

Step away from sadness
And regard the pain I love when lonely
I despise the habits of my mind
Perhaps I love your high school eyes
Because they never saw me older
Shining with a life now growing blind to change

And now Sara, share your smile
Sara, shine your smile around you
It's only in the living that we're true
