Song Description

A song about the death of my first relationship

Lyrics

A red sky fading, twilight spreads through the land
An end to the hating, a gift of a useless man

And you know that it's slow, and so it goes
And it's old, and it's cold, and so it goes

You must be joking
Some things are beyond your concern
I should be laughing
One day I'll get my turn

And I know that it's slow, and so it goes
And it's old, and it's cold, and so it goes

One night a dream ago
You said hold me close
Then I woke up in this empty bed
And I never knew why you fled and
I must be sinking

And I know that it's slow, and so it goes
And it's old, and it's cold, and so it goes

This should be simple
A garden on a cloudy day
You won't mind waiting
While I put my emotions on display

And you know that it's slow, and so it goes
And it's old, and it's cold, and so it goes
