I don’t know what the time is,
in fact I just don’t care
I’m sitting by the river,
with more pain than I can bear
I’ve just come from your service,
they put you in the ground
I can hear my soul start screaming,
as my heart cries without sound
The river looks so tempting,
it will take away the pain
I’ll let the currant take me,
and I’ll see you again
How long will it take me?
I don’t think it takes long
Then we can be together,
you’re the lyrics to my song
I’m staring at the water,
it’s hypnotising me
I like the sound it’s making,
is that your face I see?
Have you come to welcome me,
or to send me on my way
Or will you tell me not to jump,
as you think that I should stay
How can I live like this?
With you not by my side
The last time that I kissed your face,
was just after you had died
All our family were around you,
We all knew the time was near
You had accepted and expected this,
with bravery, and no fear
Well I don’t have your courage,
a coward until the end
I will just have to carry on
without my most loved friend
This sadness will control me,
wherever I will roam
I think that I’ll embrace it,
grief is just love without a home
