And so begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting
CHORUS 1:
And I must learn to live without you now
I must learn to give only part somehow
Camping on the edge of your city, I wait
Hoping someday you might see beyond yourself
The shadows on the ceiling; hard, but not real
Like the bars that cage you within yourself ...CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2:
And I must learn to live without you now
As I can not learn to give only part somehow
All of these cages must and shall be set aside
They will only keep us from knowing
Actors and stages now bow before the truth
And the love shared between remains strong ...CHORUS 2
