I Grieve

I love music....it sets the mood...it tells a story. I probably have more songs in my collection then most. I love lyrics. I love lyrics that tell a story. 

I've always loved the song "I Grieve" by Peter Gabriel. It is an interesting song....and about halfway through the song it changes. Deals more with moving on....healing. I'm not there yet. But this first part of the song sums things up for the day.....and it somewhat accurate...but not entirely. 

I Grieve by Peter Gabriel

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
There’s nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
Is just the way that we are tied in
Now there's no-one home

I grieve for you
You leave me
It’s so hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on and on

The news that truly shocks is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks its empty, empty cage
And I can't handle this

I grieve for you
and you leave me

Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on
