Lyrics

I once gave a girl a gold ring, it hung from her neck on a chain. I thought its possession would be a constant reminder of me, but sadly that ornament lacked the presence devotion demands and easily she would forget what that weight on her chest truly meant when I wasn't near. sometimes I couldn't be there

"It's a gift, it's a gift," she would say. "it's a symbol, a promise I made to someone who once cared for me so much he gilded his love around this ring. there was was a face once, a bearer, a name..." but her recollection had waned and she struggled for words to explain, "well, beyond that the details are vague." nothing remained. the gift was in vain
