We both were longing for this day
We planned it all so well
It's pointless to be mad at you
But man, I was mad as hell

We had this thing to celebrate
Twenty years in love
Too bad I never made it there
So my wife had to call it off

At least your plan it worked out well
Some trains just run on time
You sat and waited patiently
What was going through your mind?

They found your jacket on a bench
And a paper plane inside
On the wings you wrote the words
I'm a Prisoner of the Night

I'm sorry for the things I said
That's not like me at all
I even yelled - oh irony
You should be put against the wall

But now I know what you went through
In your darkest place and time
For some the world is hard to bear
And peace comes at a price

I've thought about you quite a lot
You've made me realize
I can see my life for what it is:
A treasure in disguise

I wish I could have walked with you
Just talk and be there
The gift of life you gave it back
So long and take care

But now I know what you went through
In your darkest place and time
For some the world is hard to bear
And peace comes at a price
