Jim White Objects in Motion Lyrics:
Objects in motion tend to stay that way. You can't
waste the whole damn day loving what you need to
cast away. Case in point, just yesterday I found a
suitcase full of love letters floating down a cool
brown river. Unsigned and undelivered, they set my
mind to wandering as to the history of the unknown
writer. Did she marry, did she run, was she old,
was she young? Was her heart undone by the cruel
business of loving? These objects in motion. These

yesterday. For shortly thereafter I beheld as if
in a dream the body of a young girl adrift beneath
the surface of the cool brown water. My friends so
unnerved was I by this cruel apparition that I let
loose of that suitcase and it tumbled right back
in the river. Then spellbound I watched as a halo
of love letters formed a circle on the surface of
the water right over her body and drifted away.
These objects in motion. These objects in motion.
Objects in motion tend to stay that way. You can't
waste the whole damn day loving what you need to
cast away. For from the flame of love comes the
cinder of regret. Sometimes the thing you cling to
most is the thing you'd best forget. These objects
in motion. These objects in motion.
