lyrics

Can't you hear the pitta-pat
Of a man who's gone without
And when you talk of where you've been
Only makes him to start to dream
Of the cold lonely

A million days have passed him by
Without ever looking to try
And don't you find it kind of strange
That its all so un-arranged
And the time goes by

Mourning
For something that's not quite dead yet
I see you standing on the grave
Hoping that its all OK
When its not

And suddenly now he's afraid
That any minute he will be tamed
And can you imagine that
Every corner is a waiting attack
Coming for you

Mourning
For something that's not quite dead yet
I see you standing on the grave
Hoping that its all OK
When its not

You will see the end of him
Before his time can begin
