about

A song about grief and acceptance

lyrics

Without a precedence or warning
It shocked me to my very core
It drained the colour from my morning
When I heard that you're not with us anymore
And though we never saw it coming,
I wasn't so surprised to learn,
That you'd settled your accounts and left
A note addressed to Whom it may concern

And at first I was so angry
To be among the last to know
I felt treated like an outcast
An unnecessary cruel and bitter blow
Then I remember feeling guilty
For not doing all I could have done
And I spent the next few days and hours
Waiting for the tears that wouldn't come

Then I heard your voice inside me it said
"Put aside your pain,
'Cos I'm better off on this side
Where I'll never hurt again
And you know you'll always find me where my memory remains
Just around the corner waiting for your call
Where no shadows ever fall"

Last night I had a dream about you
We were little boys once more
In our pyjamas we went stealing through your garden
To throw pebbles from the shore
Your skin was like pale alabaster
Your eyes were bruises on the snow
And we played castles in the sand dunes
Like the ghosts of who we were so long ago

And we ran down among the groynes collecting driftwood on the way
And we built ourselves a fire to chase the ocean chill away
And we never spoke a word, we didn't need to anyway
Because the starry skies above us said it all
Where no shadows ever fall

When the morning came to wake me there were tears upon my face
And my bitterness and anger disappeared without a trace
And my heart was full of gladness and my spirit full of grace because
In many ways you'd never left at all
You're Where no shadows ever fall
You're Where no shadows ever fall
You're Where no shadows ever fall
