Consider Me Gone
|
|
You can't stay there
|
You can't stay there
|
You can't stay there
|
You can't stay there
|
|
There were rooms of forgiveness
|
In the house that we share
|
But the space has been emptied
|
Of whatever was there
|
There were cupboards of patience
|
There were shelf-loads of care
|
But whoever came calling
|
Found nobody there
|
After today
|
After today
|
Consider me gone
|
|
You can't stay there
|
You can't stay there
|
You can't stay there
|
You can't stay there
|
|
Roses have thorns
|
Shining water's mud
|
And cancer lurks deep
|
In the sweetest bud
|
Clouds and eclipses
|
Stain the moon and the sun
|
And history reeks
|
Of the wrongs we have done
|
After today
|
After today
|
Consider me gone
|
|
I've spent too many years
|
At war with myself
|
The doctor has told me
|
It's no good for my health
|
To search for perfection
|
Is all very well
|
But to look for heaven
|
Is to live here in hell
|
After today
|
After today
|
After today
|
Consider me gone
|
Consider me gone
|
Consider me, consider me
|
Consider me gone, gone, gone, gone
|
|
