Comes Then Goes

[stip]

High or low, where’d you go
Are you stuck in the middle
A spectral invisible ghost
I’m here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes

Where you been, can I find
A glimpse of my friend
Don’t know where or when one of us left
The other behind
Divisions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time

Comes then goes
Comes then goes

Can I say, how ya been?
I can guess and conjecture
My altered perceptions unclear
Please interfere
Sadness comes with it a sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?

Is this you? Here I stand
Intense recollections of pain
Self-neglecting again
Like you I keep it in
Thought you found a game where you could win
It’s all vivisection in the end

Comes and goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

High or low, try again
She fell off the altar
A vision you caught her but then
A woodcut in red
I wish it was not you that she had led
Selfish navigation with no end

Where’d ya sleep
Can I find a deeper connection
In the face of rejection
I’m trying
I’m trying
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads to me to believe we missed the signs

Can I try one last time?
Could all use a savior from human behavior sometimes
And the kids are alright
The Queen of Collections took your time
Sadness comes ‘cause some of it was mine

Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

[E.H. Ruddock]

Not bad. More of an Ed solo song.

[Strat]

Not bad. More of an Ed solo song.

Just started but am shocked at that intro. Seems so out of eds general wheelhouse.

Guitar sounds great though. Not like Future days.

[Strat]

its somewhat bluesy

[Strat]

WHy isnt someone adding a little lap steel guitar to this? dafuq

[Strat]

But love it as its so unlike the last handful of ed schmaltzy love songs.

[scrub12]

I'm surprised how much I liked this. Basically Ed by himself, but not Future Days at all.

[epilogue]

Now this is way more up my alley.

[Habitman]

This really interesting guitar playing... the verses are so good.

[epilogue]

Yeah, this one is gonna end up being an all-timer for me. I can tell already.

[Habitman]

Fam... This song is special. Best guitar parts Ed has ever done. Wow!

[guitar_davey]

Thin Air and Parting Ways rolled into one.

[guitar_davey]

Fam... This song is special. Best guitar parts Ed has ever done. Wow!

I think you're right.

[stip]

like this one a lot so far. what is this reminding me of?

[stip]

nice use of the word vivisection. that’s a hard one to just drop in

[stip]

so i guess this is the first song in the first encore for a while

[Thejambi]

like this one a lot so far. what is this reminding me of?

Yeah there is something that I’m trying to put my finger on. It does have an early acoustic PJ feel to it. Some of the sequences also remind me of Parting Ways.

[Toots McSharty]

like this one a lot so far. what is this reminding me of?

I think that chord change breakdown thing he throws in every so often is reminding me of masters of war.

[evenslow]

LOVE how his guitar is recorded/mic'd.

wish rest of band contributed more?

[bada]

I don't know if the last couple songs just put me in a really good mood or not but I'm digging this one.
