and in the morning

after years have passed

it seems

oh even now to overwhelm me

and in the stillness

after life has passed

it seems

even now to grow like cancer

and in the fallout

after war days have passed

it seems

even now to keep from dying

and there you are, going deep into and through me

and there you are, keeping distant all who knew me

and filling me with a new kind of life

but it's one i never wanted, one i never imagined

and even now, you send me reeling

for you and i have been together much too long

and though i drink my mind will not grow numb

'cause it's one i never wanted, one i never imagined

and even now, you know I'm reeling

for you and i have been together much to long

much too long, don't you know

oh and here we are, and here it goes again

i know i've waited much too long

i have weighed it all, delayed the fall

but even so, even now…

even…now… even…now…

even…now… even…now…

even…now… even…now…
