The Chill
I felt the gloom this afternoon,
The sun descending into gray.
It's no surprise, I realize
The sun goes down on every day.
We all know night is coming soon.
A fact indelible, but still,
Forever's such a long, long time,
And I feel the chill.
Memories play inside my head,
The moment when I heard the news.
There was no air. There was no sound.
I stood there frozen inside my shoes.
The facts of life forever changed,
I’m drifting, seems I’ve lost my will.
Forever's such a long, long time,
And I feel the chill.
But hey, that was a perfect way
For you and me to say goodbye.
We threw back shots, and I mean lots,
No sign or hint the end was nigh.
We ate caviar straight from the jar,
Until we finally had our fill.
We talk and we laughed the night away,
And I feel the chill.
Like blood that’s spilt in tidal pools,
Crimson clouds for all to see,
Sorrow colors everything.
Grieving knows no boundary.
And on the day when you went away,
Climbing slowly up that hill,
You turned around and you waved at me,
And I felt the chill.
Forever's such a long, long time,
And I feel the chill.
