I Grieve

I Grieve
~Words and Music by Peter Gabriel

It was only one I recall
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did.

This flesh and bone
It’s just the way that we are tied in
But there’s no one home.

I’ll grieve for you.
You’ll leave me.

So hard to move on
Still loving what’s gone
They say life carries on
Carries on, and on, and on, and on.

The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
Its empty, empty cage.

And I can’t handle this
I’ll grieve for you.
You’ll leave me.

Let it out and move on
Missing what’s gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on, and on, and on.

Did I dream this belief?
Or did I believe this dream?
Now how will I find relief?
I’ll grieve…..
