|
I run my desperate trembling hands |
|
Along the floor were you once walked |
|
Fighting tears that come from loss |
|
I brave the rooms where we once talked |
|
You took a part of me |
|
I never can reclaim |
|
Your spirit's in my heart |
|
But you know it's not the same |
|
Straining to beat this blur of tears |
|
Swollen eyes beg for my dead friend |
|
Reminiscing with a photograph |
|
Drives home (that) what was won't be again |
|
I will to guarantee my reason will prevail |
|
Pain breeds the need for make believe |
|
To soothe a heart that's fail |
|
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain |
|
Like a candle burns away its light |
|
We all suffer at death's door |
|
As surely as day turns into night |
|
I drop down to my knees and plead with the sky |
|
Of course it does no good |
|
But i'll give anything a try |
|
Gazing,thinking,standing on a cliff |
|
That guards the blue-green of the sea |
|
I accept the blueprint of the world,that |
|
All must pass away that's come to be |
|
You meant so much to me |
|
That's why there's all this pain |
|
So much improved from our exchange |
|
It will never be same |
|
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain |
|
Like a candle burns away its light |
|
We all suffer at death's door |
|
As surely as day turns into night |
|
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain |
|
Like a candle burns away its light |
|
We all suffer at death's door |
|
We all suffer loss... |
|
As surely day changes into night [Music: B.Cline, P.Craddick] [Lyrics: P.Craddick] |
