time will pass, time'll leave you all alone
(
"Today I Need Light", 2010)
time will pass, but the words won't come
these things you held just to keep yourself warm
time will pass, time'll leave you all alone
with only swallows passing byit's not the troubled breathing, the heartbeat caving in
it's not the work you wanted, that's past and getting dim
it's not the silent trials, the things you did to yourself
it's not the empty feeling in the voice of someone else
time will pass, but the words won't come
these things you held just to keep yourself warm
time will pass, time'll leave you all alone
with only swallows passing by
sundown, orange moon, honey I bought these things for you
come meet me all messed up, is that the best that you could do?
a cold heart feeling nothing, lying on a floor
with thoughts of former friends; you think they need you any more?
time will pass...
sunrise, an empty window, a bible on a chair
no shout in the street, no voices on the stair
a young man breathing softly, a number, an address
the church bell says it's sunday, it could hardly matter less
time will pass...
no health, no sense of self, look out for us, amen
unveil these empty threats, can you connect with them again?
new morning starting over the tired beat within
old friends and newborn babies, a touch of lips on skin
