Two-Part Invention Lyrics
See how the chips fall where they may
How my lips sink ships, drift astray
How I've mised you, I've been a bad boy
But seventeen, it takes forever and me
I was already on fire, dreaming wth angels
Remember every little thing
You've got to remember every little thing
My child, there, I know
I'm coming to get you, but oh
I'm running so slow, like a dream
And the dawn it is quickening
My friends, they all thought
I was the one who was lost
I learned that irony from the start of my life
Remember every little thing
You've got to remember every little thing
Trumpets peal
I've realized all that's real
And love is a white-golden road
I pave with my blood now
I was a fraction at best
A sad king's court jester, or less
I was a two-part invention
She was my melody
God, she was my melody
How my lips sink ships, drift astray
How I've mised you, I've been a bad boy
But seventeen, it takes forever and me
I was already on fire, dreaming wth angels
You've got to remember every little thing
I'm coming to get you, but oh
I'm running so slow, like a dream
And the dawn it is quickening
My friends, they all thought
I was the one who was lost
I learned that irony from the start of my life
You've got to remember every little thing
I've realized all that's real
And love is a white-golden road
I pave with my blood now
I was a fraction at best
A sad king's court jester, or less
I was a two-part invention
She was my melody

To me, this is the answer to Unfinished. This is Chris realising if it wasn't for that heartbreak, he wouldn't be who and where he is. This is him realising that experience was his muse, and forgiving her.
It's good to know that Chris Simpson is still able to produce beautiful music like this...He is truly a modern day-poet, if there ever was one..
