Lyrics

[00:07.020] You learn to take your coffee black
[00:10.180] You learn to drink your whiskey neat
[00:13.300] You learn to take your shower cold
[00:16.770] And sleep on tired feet
[00:20.190] You learn to order dinner in
[00:23.160] You learn to send the laundry out
[00:26.560] You learn how to amuse yourself
[00:31.650] You learn to live without
[00:39.810] You tell yourself you’re rich at last
[00:42.870] in money and in time
[00:48.210] You draw a bath and then unplug the phone
[00:54.700] You pour yourself a Pinot Clo Du Val 2003
[01:02.760] You sit a spell a queen upon her throne
[01:07.700] You go to bed alone
[01:11.060]
[01:15.940] You learn to fall asleep alone
[01:19.050] You learn to silence ticking clocks
[01:22.390] You learn to pull the shades at night
[01:25.720] And double check the locks
[01:28.960] You learn to speak so calmly when
[01:31.990] Your heart would like to scream and shout
[01:35.330] You learn to stock and breathe and smile
[01:40.320] You learn to live without
[01:45.750] You find the coat and tie you thought
[01:48.440] you'd given to good will
[01:53.910] You toss his favourite shoes onto the pile
[02:00.470] You see him in the faces of the boys he left behind
[02:08.320] And I have been with every tiny smile
[02:13.340] but only for a while
[02:22.950] You learn to count the quiet wins
[02:25.950] An hour with no unprompted tears
[02:29.880] And not to count the deadly days
[02:33.240] As they fade into years
[02:37.330] You learn to stand alone at last
[02:40.500] So brave and bold and strong and stout
[02:43.750] You learn somehow to like the dark
[02:47.190] And even love the doubt
[02:50.150] You learn to hold your life inside you
[02:53.590] And never let it out
[02:56.880] You learn to live and die and then to live
[03:01.620] You learn to live without
[03:08.780] You learn to live without
[03:20.380] You learn to live without
[03:33.090]
