I should have taken more pictures
I should have gone with you there
Kept you near me so close
Like the grocery list on your phone
I should have talked to you more
I should have listened to you speak
Now your voice is an echo
Frozen in a lake of tears
Man of light
Tore the heart apart
Body on the floor
Can't look at you no more
Water running wild
Wounds that scar till thirty-five
I should have asked you questions
I should have stayed a while longer
So I could keep any living part of you
In a safe where crows don't fall through
Man of light
Tore the heart apart
Body on the floor
Can't look at you no more
Water running wild
Wounds that scar till thirty-five
Am I in exile of my own pain
Did God make all this inane
If I hold everyone at the wake
Who's left to wipe my tears when I break
When I finally find a river to lay
Am I allowed to complain?
I know I'll see you one day
All of our pain will ricochet
Until then I'll swim in the lake
Where light shines in flakes
When I finally find a river to lay
Am I allowed to complain
