Mason Jennings Lyrics: Machines

Machines

Will you remember me
The way I was, when I was free
An open book that we could read
Together
Will I haunt your dreams
A mockingbird with broken wings
A burned out barn, an empty swing
Forever
Time turns and then it flies
A waterfall of lullabies
A smiling girl with crying eyes
Forget her
Moonlight upon her face
A storybook of empty space
Where you and I feel out of place
Together

Will we remember this
The way it was or how it is
What we love or what we miss
Forever
Will we turn loose at last
The schools of thought from nets we’ve cast
And let our boats go sailing past
Untethered

One fine morning, one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down
One fine morning, one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down
