Its the way that you repair the broken parts
Its the way that you assemble
and its wondering that keep the stops and starts

Oh, this still life has its virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you

it gets colder
holding out
holding out
holding out

There are days when I remember what's been lost
there are days that I have forgotten
like an old friend that moved to Canada

and I held it up
and I held it out
and I stay

Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you

Oh, this still life has it virtues
'cause everything in motion leaves
or is just left behind
and I don't think it could hurt you
to stay a little while
only for awhile
we're crossing you in style
