She exhales in outcrops of lilies of the valley And cries with the echo of a landslide But when she laughs The sun himself rushes to brush against her burial mound cheeks And pretend he was was the spark that launched her into bated birdsong
Time slows, silent water bullets plunge down Bullets of regret, shame and selfishness Piercing air. Explosions release the pain Quiet puddles. Mixture of water, salt and dirt Forgiveness comes next. By God and self Tears fall to the floor. So does regret and shame Most of all unforgiveness falls. Whispering. Be free my child
We've just said our short good-byes, And you've walked out that door, And now all i have to say is, Here's to my tears falling to the floor. I hate the way this is all set up, I forget your there, Forget i can talk to you, And all i remember is, Your gone, Outta my home, How much i need you, And how much it hurts when you say good-bye.
I know this might hurt you too, But it hurts me more, I cry every Monday, Sunday, Christmas, Easter and Birthday, That's every day you say goodbye...
