Cover art for The Opening Taste lyrics by Reindeer Section, The

This song reminds me of four influential men in my life- I can't belive how every verse can bring their image to mind, and how well the words express how I feel. Amazing song

I never got to say goodbye: My Cousin It's harder now that your away: My Husband I thought of so much more to say: The Forbidden Ex You listened to it as you left: My Father

In other words couldn't hold my head above the water for long enough to hear your final wish is a lost cause to anyone who heard above the din

I don't have time to dress it up: My Father and all my thoughts come out at once: My Husband I loved you more than i could think: The Forbidden Ex of any other thing that hurts: My Cousin

I will hold my head in the shame you dealt: The Forbidden Ex and it wets my skin as I fall right in : My Cousin with your conscience clear you can walk away : My Father take it easy dear on my swollen skull : My Husband
