In Mourning - For You To Know lyrics

rate me

The pen scratches vellum paper and the words flow<br />

Ink stained fingers dreaming up this letter to you<br />

Your love lingers in the shades of a grey morning<br />

Sentence escapes in the mist<br />

<br />

The pictures of home swallowed by a narrow margin<br />

Delusions creeping upon me, I'm shaded<br />

<br />

The subtlety of time makes everything clearer<br />

Clawing to my chains, squirming with my agony<br />

Scared of never seeing you again<br />

But I never knew you anyway<br />

It could have been so different<br />

It just never happened that way<br />

<br />

Have I told you about the magpie, my only friend<br />

Have you heard about the tears and the nights in the rain<br />

And I want you to know, I want you by my side<br />

I could have helped you find a way back into this world<br />

<br />

If I ever face this world, we'll be together<br />

This is for you to know. This is for you to feel.<br />

<br />

The subtlety of time makes everything clearer<br />

Clawing to my chains, squirming with my agony<br />

Scared of never seeing you again<br />

But I never knew you anyway<br />

It could have been so different<br />

It just never happened that way<br />

<br />

The sun is setting, leaving me no sanctuary<br />

And I can't stand another night like this<br />

Tomorrow I will follow my friend among the trees<br />

My final letter, I will write it down for you<br />

<br />

Keep it with your poems because they were all true<br />

Just so you know, you didn't get here in time<br />

<br />

Have I told you about the magpie, my only friend<br />

Have you heard about the tears and the nights in the rain<br />

And I want you to know, I want you by my side<br />

I could have helped you find a way back into this world<br />

<br />

If I ever face this world, we'll be together<br />

This is for you to know. This is for you to feel.
