And so begins the task
|
I have dreaded the coming of
|
For so long
|
I wait for the sun
|
To remind my body
|
It needs restin'
|
And I must learn to "live" without you now
|
I must learn to give only part some how
|
Camping on the edge
|
Of your city I wait
|
Hoping someday
|
You might
|
See
|
Beyond yourself
|
The shadows on the ceiling
|
Hard
|
But not real
|
Like the bars that cage
|
You within yourself
|
And I must learn to live without you now
|
I must learn to give only part some how
|
And I must learn to live without you now
|
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
|
All of these cages
|
Must
|
And shall be set aside
|
They will only
|
Keep
|
Us from the knowing
|
Actors
|
And stages
|
Now fall before the truth
|
As the love
|
Shared
|
Between us
|
Remains
|
...Growing
|
And I must learn to live without you now
|
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
|
