I Grieve

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
It’s just the way that we are tied in
Now there is no-one home

I grieve
For you
You leave me

So hard to move on
Still loving what’s gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on, and on… and on

The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
Its empty, empty cage
And I can’t handle this

I grieve
For you
You leave me

Let it out and move on
Missing what’s gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on, and on… and on

Life carries on in the people I meet
In everyone that is out in the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust

Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
It’s just the car that we ride in
A home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
And life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

Did I dream this belief?
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I can find relief
I grieve


Peter Gabriel
