Lyrics

[00:21.735] A woman my age sittin' here cryin
[00:28.541] I oughta be stronger than I am
[00:34.142] I oughta take comfort from wisdom or something like that
[00:39.045] But it isn't that way 'cause sooner or later
[00:46.597] I'm still that nervous 9th grader
[00:51.899] Watching you pull us together I never knew how
[00:57.351] And since you've been gone I'm just fallin' apart
[01:00.764] There's a hole in my life in my soul in my heart
[01:05.059] And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
[01:09.413] And there's nothing that's touching me now
[01:17.316] But not to complain we're just bereft not deserted
[01:24.322] Lord knows you're rest was deserved
[01:29.874] It's just your absence is present in all that I do
[01:34.579] In the sun on the field in the poem I keep saying
[01:42.333] In the hymn that some Church bells were playing
[01:48.135] You have always been part of them but I never knew
[01:52.890] And since you've been gone I'm just fallin' apart
[01:56.593] There's a hole in my life in my soul in my heart
[02:00.896] And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
[02:05.002] And there's nothing that's touching me now
[02:12.707] And it feels like nothing is touching me now
[02:22.161] How could I ever begin to say
[02:26.616] Surely you already knew
[02:30.718] What is this world with you gone away
[02:34.968] How can this finally be true
[02:39.021] Since you've been gone I'm just fallin' apart
[02:42.822] There's a hole in my life in my soul in my heart
[02:47.179] And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
[02:51.330] And there's nothing that's touching me
[02:55.832] Since you've been gone I'm just fallin' apart
[02:59.685] There's a hole in my life in my soul in my heart
[03:03.885] And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
[03:08.136] And there's nothing that's touching me now
[03:16.199] And it feels like nothing is touching me
[03:21.601] Nothing is touching me
[03:25.307] Nothing is touching me nothing is touching me
[03:33.961] Nothing is touching me now
