lyrics

All was broken but the silence
Upon the ending of a song
And the sound of conversation
After everyone was gone
Something very weathered
Something done in vain
Something written with a finger
On a chilly windowpane
Something I once thought of
And later would forget
Something I am proud of
And later will regret
It’s the space between the notes
I know it’s never twice the same
It’s the sound that falls
Between two drops of rain
It’s like holding water in your hands
It goes through your Giacometti fingers
Through the filagree
Now you all look the same
Now we’re worried, hoping,
We’ll be better off in the afterlife
Worried, hoping, it all will
Come around again
Worried, hoping, we’ll be better off
In the afterlife
Worried, hoping, for another chance
To make amends
Amen, Amen, Amen
