Consider me gone
(You can't stay there...)
There were rooms of forgivenessIn the house that we shareBut the space has been emptiedOf whatever was there
There were cupboards of patienceThere were shelf loads of careBut whoever came callingFound nobody there
After today consider me gone(You can't stay there...)
Roses have thorns and shining waters mudAnd cancer lurks deep in the sweetest budClouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sunAnd history reeks of the wrongs we have done
After today, consider me gone(You can't stay there...)
I've spent too many years at war with myselfThe doctor has told me it's no good for my healthTo search for perfection is all very wellBut to look for heaven is to live here in hell
After today, consider me gone
