Sometimes I feel like I never knew you

Sometimes I feel you in my blood

Sometimes I get home sick and weary

‘Cause I don't know where you are



Sometimes I see the world as a diamond

Sometimes a bucket full of shit

Sometimes I place us both above it

Sometimes I feel we drown in it



And ever since you left the earthly life 

I keep my eyes open for signs

to see if you ended up in a good place

And ever since you left the earthly life

I keep your picture on the piano

My dreams are always open for you, so come on over!



Seconds come, and seconds leave

Turning into minutes, days and weeks

The summernight embraces me

I'm still standing, I'm still right here



You know your brother talked about you

He said he knew you wanted this

I only met him once or twice

He seemed nice, but somewhat distorted



And your husband sings about you

In alcoholic melodies

He comes around here now and then

But I've slipped away from him



And ever since you left the earthly life 

There's not much to spin the world around

I looked and I found nothing's what it seems

It seems they're building Babylon towers

Any direction that I turn

I look and I see the world it scares me



Was it like this for you? (I'll keep the secret a secret)

Did you scream until your face turned blue? (Nothing will reach you)

After all you think you got away with it 

Second by second, minute by minute

Your'e fading, your'e fading, your'e fading

and it's such a shame

(Seconds come, and seconds leave

all turning into minutes, days and weeks

I've looked and I found I can't find nothing)



And ever since you cut the world in two

One half with, and one without you

Without you I don't know what to do

But I hang on, hang on, hang on
