[00:14.49]Grief rides quietly on the passenger side
[00:19.06]
[00:20.93]Unwanted company on a long, long drive
[00:25.43]
[00:27.49]It turns down the quiet songs and turns up the din
[00:33.45]
[00:34.64]It goes where you go, it's been where you've been
[00:40.39]
[00:48.33]And pushing your empty cart mile after mile
[00:53.14]
[00:55.45]Leaves you weeping in the wilderness
[00:59.02]Of the supermarket aisle
[01:01.08]
[01:02.83]And in the late night kitchen light it sits in a chair
[01:08.89]Watching you pretend that it's not really there
[01:14.51]
[01:18.27]But it is, so it is and you ask
[01:21.89]Are you predator or friend
[01:23.39]
[01:25.33]The future or the past?
[01:27.08]
[01:36.09]It hands you your overcoat and opens the door
[01:41.28]
[01:42.34]You are learning the world again just as before
[01:49.15]But the first time was childhood
[01:51.45]And now you are grown
[01:53.33]
[01:56.62]Broken wide open, cut to the bone
[02:00.12]
[02:10.37]And all that you used to know is of no use at all
[02:16.63]The same eyes you've always had have you walking into walls
[02:23.37]And the same heart can't understand
[02:26.81]Why it's so hard to feel
[02:30.71]What used to be true
[02:34.02]What's now so unreal
[02:36.02]
[02:37.39]But it is, so it is and you say
[02:45.03]I wish I were the wind so that I could blow away
[02:56.49]
[03:28.97]Grief sits silently on the edge of your bed
[03:35.12]It's closing your eyes, it's stroking your head
[03:41.99]The dear old companion is taking up air
[03:46.42]
[03:50.23]Watching you pretend that it's not really there
