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
Just the way we are tied in
But there's more than bone

I grieve
For you
You leave
Me

So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
Still life carries on
Carries on and on
And on and on

The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the fine old rattle rocks
It's 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
See, life carries on
Life carries on and on
And on

Life carries on in the people I meet
In everyone that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rod and the roost
In the ashes and the dust

Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

It’s car that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face we hide in
The way we are tied in
As 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 will find relief
I grieve

-Peter Gabriel
