Oh I don’t mind the rain this evening.
At least outside it’s not deceiving.
At best inside I feel the same;
a soggy soul, a mess with pain.
Oh death I know I can’t restrain,
and things will never feel the same.
But I’m blood of blood and I’m still here.
And I swear I won’t go beer for beer.
And I’ll try not to go fear for fear.
But I can’t help going tear for tear.
Oh I have to find the faith to move on.
It’s not a dusk, it’s just a new dawn.
It’s not an end, it’s just a start,
and I swear you’ll live on in my heart.
As you depart and I remain,
I promise not to hold this pain.
I promise not to hold this sting.
Though I’ll hold on to everything.
Oh everything you said to me,
about loving life and living free.
About living here and holding strong.
And though you’ve gone on,
you haven’t gone away.
