lyrics

When the sun comes up I crawl out of bed
Roll the daily bread and wait for it to rise
When the day comes along I can feel you’re gone
I will carry on, it’s all that I can do

To tell you the truth, to give you this promise
I feel no pain, I feel no bliss
To tell you the truth
Though may I seem heartless
To make no excuse for the way it is

I saw it coming from miles away
like a disco ball on the back of a freight train
You can go long way anticipating grief
I felt it coming from miles away
I felt the weight of changes, universal sameness;
I felt it go

To tell you the truth, to make you this promise
I feel no pain, I feel no bliss
To tell you the truth
Though may I seem heartless
To make no excuse for the way it is

I don’t want to cry and you don’t want to hear it;
I wouldn’t want to appear sad
I wouldn’t want you near that when you’re trying to go
I wanna say goodbye but I don’t want to fear it;
speaking incoherently
Maybe that’s the way the spirit speaks when you lose someone
