Residents - Loss Of A Loved One lyrics

rate me

I told them how my wife had fallen into sickness and to calling out her<br />

Name with questions on her tongue. We had always been so happy that at<br />

First I wasn't sad because I thought my love could keep her strong. But I<br />

Never thought so wrongly for the fever fought too strongly and it seemed<br />

She never fought at all. Soon she died, and I despaired upon the love seat<br />

We had shared so many times on pleasant afternoons. I tried and tried to<br />

Understand why love itself could not command my true love fromhe comas of<br />

Her mind. Now, empty, open and foreboding, stretching out like darkened<br />

Clothing somehow stained with silence and with fear. Death had brought its<br />

Separation, giving me an education of a dull and slowly drifting day. I<br />

Filled my emptiness with sorrow, taking what I could not borrow fromhe<br />

Friends I finally drove away. "Yes, my life was nearly ruined, till I saw<br />

What you were doing. Now I strive to keep on serving you. Life is good but<br />

I am better, for I feel at last I let her go because I finally found the<br />

Truth. Sadly now, I see the answer. All her life she was a dancer, but no<br />

One ever played the song she knew."<br />
