The Last Of My Connections Lyrics

The last of my connections
Came to see me yesterday
To leave with me one last confession
Before he went off on his way
To say, the world won't stop here for a funeral
Not even for a sunny day
I've got some memories, and they're beautiful
They've always been my saving grace
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e81130-neal_casal~the_last_of_my_connections_lyrics.html ]
Now, the things that I have forgotten
Are so much clearer to me now
Now that a year has passed by
I can finally show my face in town
Sometimes I want to spend my whole life lost
Give everything I have away
To live with every single vein closed off
To let that be my saving grace
I see the stationmaster
Waving everyone goodbye
He says his days are numbered
He says it's all just been a lie
And you know why, cause the world won't stop even for a funeral
Not even for a sunny day
You're just a memory, but you're beautiful
You've always been my saving grace
The last of my connections
