Lyrics
Now is sun, through nimbus and blue, why were you taken so young? Fireworks in the air, I try to care about anything and anyone and get on with my life.
Why were you taken to such untimely fade away? Life and breath gone the next I can see it's up to me to get on with my life.
When one so unsuspecting gets this song
One so unsuspecting gets this song. You're gone but here my dear.
What made you lose your cool, slam the car door and storm away? Moonless night down Black Horse Pike, it happened fast, clipped from behind, you didn't suffer but you're lost, lost to me. And one so unsuspecting gets this song, one so unsuspecting gets this song. You're gone but here my dear.
Lives change, strange change. Foreign land, it's a foreign land. ALone with all of us left to understand the rest.
Life and breath, gone the next. I pray the good lord with set my anger free so I can get on with my life. Set my anger free so I can get on with my life. When one so unsuspecting gets this song. One so unsuspecting gets this song. You're gone, gone, gone...
