Curtains Lyrics

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

is just the way that we are tied in

But there’s no one home

I grieve...... for you

You leave....... me

So hard to move on 

Still loving what’s gone

They say life carries on

Carries on and on and on and on

The news that truly shocks

is the empty, empty page

While the final 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

They say life carries on 

They say 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 rot and the rust

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

Just the car that we ride in

The home we reside in

The face that 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
