[ Featuring a Piano ]
If there's one thing that I know
It's that the sleep is first to go
Regret's the blackest coffee you can buy
They say it's darkest near the dawn
But if you keep your curtains drawn
You'll never notice when the daylight breaks the sky
And I can finally wash these sheets
And rinse away her stale perfume
But I can finally walk these streets
I can smell the flowers as they bloom
It's the end of one more day and the coming of the night
She's begun to slip away, retreating like the light
The image of her face once burned in my mind
Is only just a trace, and now it's fading fast with time
Think I discovered heaven
In those two or three short seconds
Between when I'd wake and when I'd think of her
If that could be eternity
Then I could finally rest in peace
And stop losing sleep for things that never were
And I can finally wash these sheets
And rinse away her stale perfume
But I can finally walk these streets
I can smell the flowers as they bloom
It's the end of one more day and the coming of the night
She's begun to slip away, retreating like the light
The image of her face once burned in my mind
Is only just a trace, and now it's fading fast with time
They say it marches on; they say it flies
But I know whoever said those things has never said a long goodbye
It's the end of one more day and the coming of the night
She's begun to slip away, retreating like the light
The image of her face once burned in my mind
Is only just a trace, and now it's fading fast with time
