[00:00.00]Seems a long, long time ago this morning
[00:06.86]Each ticking of the clock a hammer blow
[00:14.11]Descending from the sky without a warning
[00:21.40]A lifetime in a day or nearly so
[00:27.49]
[00:28.57]Songbirds were so strangely still this morning
[00:35.56]Like during an eclipse as dark as light
[00:41.64]All pretense of hope forever scorning
[00:48.15]Exploding into shards of endless night
[00:54.65]
[00:55.48]Playing dice with the devil for possession
[01:02.01]Rolling bones for possession of my soul
[01:07.86]Down inside the depths of sheer depression
[01:14.22]My only hope depends on one more roll
[01:20.88]
[01:22.16]Each time I turn around I see my shadow
[01:28.87]Falling tall and black across the ground
[01:34.75]I see you arching from a broken window
[01:41.30]Your lips are moving, I can't hear a sound
[01:48.06]
[01:49.01]Do you speak in love or execration
[01:54.93]Or in some other way, I can't decide
[02:01.01]I know I won't receive an explanation
[02:07.33]Satisfactory to my wounded pride
[02:13.22]
[02:14.04]Should I chance to live until tomorrow
[02:20.31]Don't expect to know more than today
[02:26.23]Why it is the outline of my shadow
[02:33.50]Brushes your horizon as it fades away
