Intro] (
Sound
of
a
needle
dropping
on
a
dusty
vinyl
record) (
Slow,
melancholic
piano
loop
fades
in)
Yeah.
Just
thinking
about
you,
Dorcas.
It’
s
quiet
Mac
eazy
brain
straight
from
the
boiler
room
[Verse 1] I
see
your
silhouette
dancing
in
the
hallway
light
A
ghost
of
the
memories
that
kept
me
up
all
night
Dorcas,
you
were
the
brown
skin
girl
with
the
world
in
your
eyes
Now
I’
m
reading
the
letters
that
hide
all
our
goodbyes
You
were
skinny,
frame
fragile
but
your
spirit
was
bold
We
had
a
love
story
written
in
letters
of
gold
But
the
ink
started
fading,
the
pages
turned
gray
And
I
watched
my
whole
universe
crumble
away
It’
s 80
BPM,
my
heart’
s
skipping
the
beat
Walking
these
lonely
streets,
feeling
the
cold
in
the
heat
I
remember
the
way
that
you
laughed
at
my
jokes
Before
the
fire
turned
to
embers
and
the
embers
to
smoke.
[Chorus] Oh,
Dorcas,
why
did
we
have
to
fall
apart?
You
left
a
permanent
hollow
right
here
in
my
heart
Brown
skin
shining,
like
the
sun
on
the
rise
Now
there’
s
nothing
but
rain
falling
out
of
my
eyes
Yeah,
the
love
was
a
dream
that
I
wanted
to
keep
But
now
I’
m
awake
and
the
silence
is
deep.
[Verse 2] I’
m
looking
at
photos,
you’
re
looking
away
Caught
in
the
flicker
of
a
yesterday
play
You
were
quiet,
mysterious,
kept
to
yourself
Now
your
memory
sits
like
a
book
on
the
shelf
I
trace
the
outline
of
where
you
once
stood
I’
d
trade
it
all
back
if
I
knew
that
I
could
But
the
city
is
ruthless,
it
eats
up
the
weak
And
I’
m
finding
it
harder
and
harder
to
speak
You
were
the
brown
skin
girl,
elegance
in
your
stride
Now
there’
s
nowhere
for
me
to
run
or
to
hide
Just
the
vinyl
crackle
and
the
bass
drum
low
Trying
to
let
go
of
the
things
that
I
know.
[Chorus] Oh,
Dorcas,
why
did
we
have
to
fall
apart?
You
left
a
permanent
hollow
right
here
in
my
heart
Brown
skin
shining,
like
the
sun
on
the
rise
Now
there’
s
nothing
but
rain
falling
out
of
my
eyes
Yeah,
the
love
was
a
dream
that
I
wanted
to
keep
But
now
I’
m
awake
and
the
silence
is
deep.
[Bridge] Time
doesn’
t
heal,
it
just
makes
you
forget
The
edge
of
the
blade
and
the
sting
of
regret
I’
m
trying
to
move,
but
I’
m
stuck
in
the
groove
Of
a
record
that’
s
skipping,
nothing
to
prove
Just
you,
Dorcas,
in
the
back
of
my
mind
The
best
thing
I
lost,
the
best
I
could
find.
[Verse 3] So
this
is
the
ending,
the
credits
are
rolling
I
hear
the
sound
of
the
deep
valley
tolling
I
wish
you
the
best
on
the
path
that
you
chose
May
your
life
be
a
garden
of
lilies
and
rose
I’
ll
keep
the
rhythm,
I’
ll
keep
the
boom-bap
Even
though
I’
m
tired
of
running
this
lap
Dorcas,
you’
re
gone,
and
the
song’
s
gotta
end
It’
s
hard
to
call
you
an
ex
when
you
were
my
friend.
[Chorus] Oh,
Dorcas,
why
did
we
have
to
fall
apart?
You
left
a
permanent
hollow
right
here
in
my
heart
Brown
skin
shining,
like
the
sun
on
the
rise
Now
there’
s
nothing
but
rain
falling
out
of
my
eyes
Yeah,
the
love
was
a
dream
that
I
wanted
to
keep
But
now
I’
m
awake
and
the
silence
is
deep.
[Outro] Yeah.
Just
a
memory.
Dorcas.
Stay
brown,
stay
beautiful. (
Fade
out
with
piano
loop
and
vinyl
static)
Peace.
