Éanna’s sorry for the things that he said
But it’s not as though they chased me to bed
As I took that fateful step one night in my room
Everything disappeared and was replaced by doom
And it wasn’t his words that made the lightning crack
Though it was long ago he can’t take them back
It was something that someone said about weird
And it was as though everything was exactly as I feared
And I walked on
Though the world is already gone
In flagrant tones
Who do I blame for the videophones
Dictating our lives
The past rushes onwards but doesn’t survive
Now it’s years later
And an apology as you tip the waiter
Éanna’s sorry, he said it to me that time
When we were all lifted up in the moment sublime
Éanna’s sorry, I fear
I’ve got to give up on this, dear
The grievance I hold
The story I’ve told
And forgiveness and letting go
Of the hurt that resides in my heart so
Éanna’s sorry and I
Let it go and try
To be here
This moment’s all you ever have, dear
He’s sorry and I see my whole life
Bundled up in the story I told of strife
And the hard shell
Of all too well
Is letting me go
Éanna’s sorry, I know
Was it bluster and show
As he called me out and threw a line
There’s nothing that’s not replaced by time
As I try and fail to think of something to say
I nod and just let it be okay
That the break of day might come after this night
That there is a place that I am alright
Éanna’s sorry, just see
He’s looking to me
For forgiveness and exude
His old attitude
Do I hold it against him for the rest of time
Do I turn away or just say I’m fine
Éanna’s sorry and real
Is the way that I feel
To know that the age
Is a drawing on page
In another form
Do I accept the end of the storm?
Or stay with the pain
The standing out in the pouring rain
The years in the hollow
The people I follow
He’s sorry and it’s as though if I
Forget that I ever break down and cry
Alone, in my room
With nobody knocking or coming soon
Éanna’s sorry and life
Has let go of strife
And hugged me close
With the power of what I love the most
In gentle tones
You’re not alone
And people care
Nonchalant is just something they wear
Until the time the heart will show
I’m all about love so I let you know
That we’re cool, we’re alright
I guess this marks the end of the fight
