|
You pack your sweaters for the fall |
|
And the flowers die in their garden rows |
|
And the warm words can't help at all, |
|
Everybody knows... |
|
You're trying to find a compromise |
|
Between remembering and learning to forget, |
|
So now just pouring a glass of water |
|
Is like trying to move boulders with your breath. |
|
It's so hard to see it all, |
|
She tries to hold you in the night, |
|
But you're shaking you're crying out, |
|
Praying for sleep to bless your bedside. |
|
That's right, so it goes, |
|
The whole world folds over you. |
|
Pack your handkerchief and your best shoes... |
|
Reconciliation of guilt and grief, |
|
It's the hardest battle you've tried to win |
|
And now every year you grit your teeth |
|
As it cuts you underneath your skin. |
|
Oh and Sunday mornings don't bring you solace, |
|
You are firm in your disbelief |
|
But you hold tight to that old promise; |
|
You are waiting for the spring, |
|
You are waiting for the spring. |
|
That's right, so it goes, |
|
The whole world folds over you. |
|
Pack your handkerchief and your best shoes... |
|
Don't leave me breathing, |
|
No not alone, |
|
There's so much more I meant to tell you. |
|
I went by with flowers, just to see, |
|
But that granite told me you're still gone.... |
|
Don't leave me breathing, |
|
No not alone, |
|
There's so much more I meant to tell you... |
|
I went by with flowers, just to see, |
|
But the granite told me you're still gone.... |
