Lyrics
He lay upon my bed
the soft weight of the dead
the light overhead
I can’t I said
The dead, they come to me
I see them in my dreams
and I say (I say) how now? (how now?)
I say how now and how come
and they nod and they smile
I’m trying not to worry
so scared, so in a hurry
and I just want to understand
Forever forever forever
no things and all things last forever
I know (I know) it’s so (it’s so), it comes and it goes
but somehow some things hold together
sometimes, some way or another
but what things? (what things?) And how long? (how long?)
What things, and how long and how come
and what can be done?
Here where the veil is thin
life ends and so begins
I know it’s so
I bade him go
The weight upon my bed
gone where the light has led
And a breath (a breath) on my skin (on my skin)
through the window the wind
On my skin is a world without end
and I’m no longer worried
or scared or in a hurry
as I begin to understand
Forever forever forever
no things and all things last forever
we know (we know) it’s so (it’s so)
we come and we go
and sometimes some things hold together
but now, only now is forever,
forever forever forever,
this moment, this feeling,
this light, this breath, this love
this breath this love
this light this love
forever forever forever forever
forever forever forever forever
