Death and the end of things Did it clip my broken wings Coz I saw it in every facet Of a diamond hue And counted down the days Until it would take you And now I’m thirty three One day it’ll take me Away from the world of form The world into which I was born And it was midnight when I realised That everything I loved died On the street that day And it’s not okay To just say That all things end And love’s around the riverbend Coz they never seem to care About what isn’t there Where it once was And I got angry just because I couldn’t change it Couldn’t change anything So I find the lungs to sing The song you taught me all those years ago And it doesn’t take snow To preserve a body cold What happens to us when we get old Do we live in regret Replacing what hasn’t happened yet Coz the time has piled And all the miles We go from the place where we were And nothing can replace her Not as hard as it tried The world is full of lies But there is a truth that just fails To catch the wind that set my sails Upon a foreign sea Are you still watching over me Or is it just rueful fate I love and It forgets the hate
