STING - Consider Me Gone lyrics

rate me

There were rooms of forgiveness<br>In the house that we share<br>But the space has been emptied<br>Of whatever was there<br>There were cupboards of patience<br>There were shelfloads of care<br>But whoever came calling<br>Found nobody there<br><br>After today, consider me gone<br><br>Roses have thorns, and shining waters mud<br>And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud<br>Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun<br>And history reeks of the wrongs we have done<br><br>After today, consider me gone<br><br>I've spent too many years at war with myself<br>The doctor has told me it's no good for my health<br>To search for perfection is all very well<br>But to look for heaven is to live here in hell<br><br>After today, consider me gone
